People play tournaments all over the place, CB don't care. The fact that people, or a company, don't care doesn't make a wrong thing right. >They play >tournaments with amateur engines and various commmercial books or Nunn matches. >They play with amateur engines on SSDF with the Fritz book. >dutch< Om maar met wat basisschool-retoriek aan te komen: "als jantje in de sloot springt, spring jij er dan ook in?" en neej, niet om hem te redden. If someone cheats you have the option of joining them or attempting to force them to stop it. IMNSHO you pick the wrong option. >How in the world >*could* CB care? They are just using their product. I don't think they approve of Tao or any other engine 'stealing' points from CB products in tournaments due to them having an equalizing or better (learning) book. >The problem is not *at all* at CB. That's correct, it's the ethics of a number of amateurs. That my car allows me to speed on the highways doesn't make it right. >The CSVN tournament direction has to decide what is allowed. And one >thing could be that they don't want 5 different engines with one and the same >book. That's fine by me, as long as Kure grants those 5 engines permission to use the book. >(BTW I didn't see that you ever listed Tim Mann So winboard now comes with .ctg support, booklearning, yadda yadda now? Thanks Tim! Seriously, winboard adds nothing that will make your engine stronger then it was when ran in console/it's own interface.
