hi dann, >>there is no need that you like the list. >> >>but there is also no need to disqualify the list as a joke. > >Laughter is a fundamental human need. Can you imagine what a bore it would be yes. but lauhter and laughter are different things. >if we all sat around frowning? I went to Germany for a while once, saying >"gutenmorgen" to everyone I met, like some sort of idiot savant. It seemed >strange to me that (despite my hilarious bad accent) nobody even smiled, >although I did get a few "morg's" in return. unfortunately that´s the german mentality. > >>1.there are no strange settings included. most of the special settings are very >>good and useful. and no other list shows that. > >See! If they are good and useful and no other list has them then they must be >strange. That's because strange means: not really. everyone knows the gambit tiger "aggressive" settings even john merlino has tested the chessmaster "utzinger" settings hundreds of people have tested the y13, challenger and explorer settings which you can find on one of the chessbits-cd`s. so these engines aren´t strange at all. > >I think the programs have a bit of an advantage at blitz, and a lesser one at >40/2. But that's neither here nor there. yes, of course. due to the fact that people are playing more blitz games than tournament games. overall the relation is about 40%/30%/30%. >>so ignore the list if you dislike it, but stay away from showing disrespect. >>it´s not fair to the people which are spending so much time. > >He did not say that he disliked it. In fact, I am quite sure that he did like >it. You read in-between the lines and saw something that wasn't there. No >doubt Danish-English hidden thought waves were travelling on a different >frequency from what you were imagining. read his other posting in this thread and you see that i didn´t read in-between the lines. > >>not very gentle, your comment. > >Which is less gentle, yours or his? Just remember, it takes a big man to laugh >at himself. And an even bigger man to laugh at that man. a true word :-) marcus
