Ed, it's sad to see you with such nitpicking. Please do also read what I wrote
in my answers to moderator Dann. Ed, a general remark. I did not accuse Thorsten
of cheating or doing something unallowed here. All the questions in the
mentioned article are questions for my better understanding the details.

It's odd, but I must now look as if I were your teacher. But you know that I'm
not, so don't feel insulted. :)

Ed, what was the topic of my questions? Can you remember? It was this. How can
Thorsten post games who do not prove what they should prove, namely the improval
of Macheide Rebel!
 Now I found a position and asked questions. And after these questions I wrote
sort of summary. But honestly take a closer look. The paragraphe is corrupted.
And I do not know myself what was its original version. It makes no sense the
someone, the isolated y. My English is not good enough so that I could find the
solution of the puzzle.

But most important point in my eyes is the fact that tuning for me at least is
the same as changing, tweaking and arranging.

My honest question was if it would bring anything if you constructed such
engines who then could play such nonsense games with cooks. Sounds a bit
complicated but then I'm not the expert here. No, I asked for explanations.

So, this context is clear. 7 questions and no premature conclusions.

But in the end it might have been that I tried to justify with further words my
motivation. And I can speak it out here very clearly.

If someone would tune your Rebel so that Rebel played right to the cookings of
the opponent then I wouldn't call it amelioration! Because that has nothing to
do with strength! But Ed, look at the wordings. I didn't say that Thorsten DID
it. I asked. And I had no clue what was going on. So I ASKED for someone seing
the evidence.

That alone means that I had no evidence for the idea of pre-arranging, no!!?

Or what would you conclude here.

Ed, it's really not nice how you are trying to get me with such little quotings
out of context. Most of the time it gives a false presentation.

But don't bother to analyse the 5 examples for further insinuation I could have
written. I can only say that I had NONE.

The _only_ idea I had: why Thorsten gives such games, or other variation: why
Thorsten is tuning Rebel Macheide so that it goes into such cooking lines which
can't prove a thing about strength. And I have still the same question now.

Do you know the answer?

Take care :)

But youre not Jonas, no? :)

Good night

Rolf Tueschen

P.S.

I take for granted that you don't want to excuse Thorsten's insults against me.
Because evewn being upset doesn't justify insultings. IMO.
