Go up one level in this thread


No ..  what I am saying is that anyone can have an Computer account. But only
programmers and Beta Operators have the right to use the !computer formula.  Its
basically like .... after i made some changes to the code its nice to know that
i will be able to test what i have done ... As of lately .. all i see is
!computer accts.  Its very easy to get your acct rating very high only playing
humans .... Now with the programmer of the software using that ... he may only
want to gather certain types of data ...so any games with other computers he may
not want because he knows he hasn't developed his book yet ... so !computer is
what he would want to use.  But I see no purpose for some else to use such a
formula ... and turn it off to play other programs when they like.
I guess I am trying to see a purpose for someone that just bought the program to
use such an formula.  If he or she was trying to develop an opening book than
thats fine ... Its basically the same reason ... its polite to have what
hardware and software you are using in your finger notes.  It gives you an Idea
on how strong your program is ...
