Can you imagine how much time I needed to write all that >down even in German? It took several hours. What a cop-out. The specific text in this case is from the first post in this thread. This post contains three paragraphs. http://www.icdchess.com/forums/1/message.shtml?195936 "In meinem Turnier "Einer gegen alle" hatte Shredder 5.32 noch sensationell hoch mit 7.5-2.5 gewonnen, nun lautete das Ergebnis anders herum 7.0-3.0 für GambitTiger! Statistik hin oder her, dieses Ergebnis "passt" besser zu den anderen Shredder 5.32-Ergebnissen, denn in dem Turnier sahen die Ergebnisse mit 4.0-6.0 und 3.5-6.5 wesentlich anders aus als das 7.5-2.5. Zu den Partien kann ich noch nichts sagen, wird nachgeliefert. Sie sind aber schon auf meiner Homepage www.harald-faber.de zum download parat. Momentan steht es 1.5-1.5 zwischen Shredder 5.32 und GambitTiger 2 aggresiv, dem letzten Match in diesem Test. Er wird dann hoffentlich am Donnerstag abend beendet sein, bis dahin bin ich eh beruflich bedingt offline." I quote "Can you imagine how much time I needed to write all that >down even in German? It took several hours." Really....? >Translating all that huge amount of >text would also take much time I do not have. Huge amount?.....ok whatever. >Sorry for that, everyone is free to find a translation site or to ignore these >postings what is very easy because they can easily be identified by the (German >text) hint in the thread's name. Naturally people are free to ignore them, as I currently do. But since your purpose of posting is to get people to read what you write and since you are crossposting this in German at the other forums, do you really think it's worthwhile posting it here in German. Especially when you read and write English......oh sorry forgot, the several hours of work needed to translate it to English. Sarah.
