I'm a bit astonished by such a tone here, Dann. Now I must explain the English
meaning to you. It's sad.

To answer your question I remind you of the point that I originally _thought_
that Thorsten posted or quoted the games, because they should "prove" or show
that the created new style played "stronger" than the default version. My
question was if such games, my 5 examples, could do that successfully. I thought
'No'! If you doubt my original opinion then why these games were posted at all?
They stood in context of Thorsten's claim that his style was stronger against
Shredder ans so on. But the games don't prove it.

I found that the games contained a cook against Shredder. Explanation: because
the Shredder book contained the weak line. What should this prove about the
Macheide style??? Nothing IMO.

I asked a scientifically interesting (for me!!) question how people, I meant
all, could detect such cookes games in testing. Because it made the tests weaker
by definition! (Would you now doubt my scientific interest I showed from my
first posting on? Either about SSDF or the DB2 team.)

Note that I did NOT think that _Thorsten_ cooked these games!!!!

They are cooked because of the opening book. And I thought I had made a valuable
_discovery_. Just by playing through the lines. I found the examples.

Please do not lay bad intentions into my mouth when they definitely are not
there!

Of course I thought that it was a bad thing for Thorsten to post these games,
but I did never even _insinuate_ that he tried to _cheat_ with them. For what
purpose should he have done it???

I repeat I found the cooks and asked a question "how people could detect such
cooks". Please stop pushing me in corners where my honest questions should look
like the insults, Thorsten read in them. There are no insults!

Please give a short correction here if it's understood by now what the meaning
was. Thank you.

It's important for me because Thorsten already wrote about my intentions to
destroy and so on. This is most insultive for me.
