But in my weaker lingual understanding I got the impression that you might be tired or wanted to bash me however in funny disguise. On the other hand I didn't want to write it because that might sound impolite. So, yes, I read that you put on the head what I had written. Although let there be no mistake, in programming a chess program you could even cut me in two parts and I wouldn't notice it. :) In other words, I got the impression that you would feel deeply insulted by some of my proposals and you wanted to get rid of it. IF that is all not the case, then I must apologize because it's my English again. I can communicate, but I don't know about the English's exact connotations in direction of fun, mockery or being serious. In German I'll could do the same without even a German would remark it. If you know what I mean. My problem is that even my absolutely friendly meant phrases have from time to time an unforeseen trend into something I never learned about in English, so that it wasn't the intention, but the other person still feels agitated. I am still on the level of Shakespeare and the speech of Antonius. That was the last time I met irony in English. So, I would reply you this way: could you please be so kind and take my proposals and turn them into something reasonable in terms of your field? And then could you tell me why something is not so elegant and other things impossible? For me it looks as if I had to defend my ideas here although everybody has understood already but nobody wants to change anything. So obviously that's a forced debate. Perhaps it is also funny for younger persons to simply watch when someone can't even explain exactly what he means but he nevertheless told the public that his proposals had advantages, or less, the consense could have advantages compared to the actual situation in FIDE. (This is a question of self-confidence, and you should not underestimate that I still tried to write my ideas in a forum with so many experts.) I did never think that I could solve any of your problems, but perhaps I could ask questions that could lead you to a debate with some solutions. To do that I must not necessarily be completely familiar with your profession. This is interdisciplinary, but if you already get excited if a foreigner to the programmer's computerchess asked the questions, then I see no good chances that anything at all could happen. Other than mock battles. In the German forum at CSS (closely related to ChessBase) I was once told that I couldn't believe that such problems were discussed with me. I had proposed a commission, but the truth was that nobody wanted to discuss anything at all. Neither with nor without me. Mock battles. Rolf Tueschen
