Joe, > Shredder also lost against Gulko. The rest of the programs remain undefeated. > So what does this tell us? that shredder suxs!! Posts like these don't go down too well here - and IMO, rightly so. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, statistically you can not make any valid conclusions from such a small sample of games. Most people here are well aware of this fact. Secondly, to say a program 'suxs' is strong and doesn't tally with Shredder's achievements - from the tens of thousand of games played by Shredder it is clear that it is an *extremely* strong program - one of the strongest ever written. So to say it 'suxs' is seen, by people who are in the know, as trolling. Finally, your comments are not exactly constructive. You're entitle to your opinions but I think most people here admire the work that goes into all chess programs so a comment like "program xxxx suxs" seems somewhat childish. At the other end of the scale comments like, "I like program xxxx" are also pointless and not worth posting. So at least try to be constructive in your posts. Regards, Steve
