I find this case just too obvious. He's not only asking
for a flamewar this Lagerhausen, even worse, he started
one.

I explained my point that Nunn selected a bunch of testset
positions where the plan and strategy is completely 10 levels
too high for computers to ever understand (especially
at the time he selected them), so i made a general statement
then that Nunn doesn't know what computerchess is at all,
especially when we look to how computerchess programs work,
this is hardly understood even till today by grandmasters.

I can understand why, but if a reaction to a posting in this
area is just intended to start a reaction from my side which
has *nothing* to do with computerchess, then it's obvious
it is off-topic.

A moderator SHOULD understand that!!!
