You should stick to the point and not deviate so much! That is what makes it difficult for you to understand what I did. And also do not lay words or intentions into my mouth I didn't use and have. BTW I got a good hint by Bob and I will deal with you with more tact, at least I try. So first of all let me tell you that I did never intend or insinuate or say that you cheated. Believe it or not. But I didn't do it. And therefore your direct insults after my first examples yesterday are bad behaviour. I did never deny or doubt you the right to create these styles. I was not interested in the smallest details of your tuning. I did not criticise your practice of tuning. I repeat, your tuning was never object of my reflection. It's both funny and also sad, I named it a satire already, that you felt attacked by very basic questions but surely not questions to your main occupation, namely the tuning and styling. I asked the questions and gave the five examples because in my eyes, such games and only 30 games in total (concerning autoplayer games in several months!) could not say anything about the details of your new style or the new strength of theses styles. Can't you understand the meaning of my questions? They are easy questions. No insults to your tuning pracice nor your attitude in the hobby as such. Simple questions with a very simple logic. You wrote in many postings here and elsewhere that you found stronger styles for Rebel, Macheide, and that Rebel would make putty puke out of Shredder or Fritz. Now please try to forget for a moment who I am, ok? Just for the sake that you can understand the following conclusion. Without being confused by my name alone. You claimed the strength of Rebel Macheide, ok?! And what I did very _simply_, but as a "newbie" I can only ask such simple questions, is I searched for your games. You gave here and elsewhere the source, your webpage. Well, I went there and read the article. Then I downloaded the games. So now I have roughly 30 games, not more. Next. I played through the first win I saw for Macheide with Black. And that exactly became my first example yesterday. Becuase for me that wasn't a game which could prove or give the impression of a better strength of Macheide - because the game contained Shredders opening book bug. No, please, do forget for a mont my name. Please tell me. Was that insulting for you, the example of that game? Again, forget about me, just ask your self if the question as such is an offense! I don't think so. I am sure that the whole anger came only because I personally asked the question, but not the question itself. You know how that is called? That is called obsession. You have a problem with me and then you take such trivial questions with so much emotion. I swear you that my question was not intended to insult you. It was a question out of astonishment because I couldn't believe my eyes when I played through the games. In the end I had five games in total. Perhaps I could find even more. Now instead that you thought with a smile, well, this newbie has no idea what I am doing, the tuning, but he's not stupid. What he found there is really not nice. That would be a good reaction. And not insulting me with your usual medical impostering. "You are ill." Like today in your own forum at the adress of Chris and me. Why do you react this way? Have you something to prove to your friends? I can only repeat: I did not, do not, and will not insult you with any of such questioning. More, it's my way to understand what's going on. Someone who gives you critical thoughts is as valuable as the one who posts testing results. It's wrong when you believe that only testing has its merits. No, reflections about the practice have their own value. Like Bob who advised me of simply neglecting the test results I didn't like, I would advise you to simply neglect reflections you don't like. But you have no right to substantiate mere testing as more valuable than reflecting. Here to that topic you are always insultive. I don't understand why exactly you find it necessary to doubt my scientific education. So if I ask "newbie" questions, why they are a direct insult for you? Because there must be a hidden reason where I want to insult you with such questions?? This is all your own impression. But it's not the truth. Take me by my word. I ask such questions bcause they interest me. I do not ask them to make you look dumb! Read what I asked Chessfun who also couldn't believe such a question. I asked, tell me what you think about my data. I meant the output of my Fritz. Chessfun only saw the many questions and simply couldn't believe that I was heavily interested in a feedback for my data. Reason for me? Simply because I had such data for the first time. Because I did never let Fritz show the scrolls. I always let him show two variations or more. Then you have no scrolls. So for the first time I posted such results. Of course I wanted feedback. Apparently people are here so much advanced in their daily routine that they can't read what is written but they must find hidden motivations in the questions. And you are even deeper involved. You are doubting the real intentions and only search for the hidden threat behind the question. This is wrong and bad and not sane. Why you can't answer such question in such a quiet tone as in the posting below? Without the insulting remarks? I can only tell you that then you would see that _all_ my questions have a serious background. Perhaps not of your taste, but NEVER with insulting intentions behind! Could we find a compromise for the next time here in CCC at least. That you tried to neglect my posts or tried to find answers but tried to forget about possible deeper bad intentions? And I in return will try to continue what I already did in the threads with my 5 examples, I will always make clear that have great respect for your experience out of such a long practice. You in return should respect that somemone like me has the inborn right like you too, to take part in the hobby. Also when I am otherwise motivated than you. You don't have more rights. You don't have better qualified rights. And you should make a clown out of yourself by always trying to teach me about basic logical reasoning. As if I would be present here for the sole goal to make you unhappy. You also reproached Chessfun with that nonsense. That is so insulting. Please stop it. You have no right do do it. Has nothing to do with your free speech. In the end let me apologize for having caused you again so much anxieties and anger. You must not fear that I could make your hobby a bitter activity. Please let's both be interested in our hobby from two different standpoints. And let's give us mutual respect. I respect your experience but you should respect my more scientifical interests. I'm interested in consistency. So let me write my questions. As I let you post your games and styles. And if I find something strange in a game then this is ON topic and you should not censor it. Again: please believe me that my questions were intended by the idea that you had bad games to prove your claim - and nothing else. If you had found an answer without all he arrogance and hatred, we both could have omitted this long debate. Honestly I have still not understood what these 30 games should show or prove. Below you wrote that later people or SSDF would test the final style. So what do the 30 games mean now? If they meant nothing at all then you should have also found appropriate answers for me. Why your insults? Did you insult because you had to show someone your superiority? Like the new tendency of censoring in your own forum? How could it be consistent with your own confirmation - you wrote to me some time ago - that you would tolerate _anything_ I wanted to write? Questions over questions. And you know why I don't write you email? Simply because you dodn't answer most of the time because you are working so hard on your tuning. But we should better take this to email here. Take care and think about my proposition for a compromise.
