Of course you're too stubborn to learn, but how about the human contact you have during the game which allows you to ask Frans Morsch whether he finds nullmove a good algorithm and to ask some other whether he still likes singular extensions? They won't answer it on CCC. They do in such tournaments. They won't answer it when something is automated, only some employee who knows shit from chess will be checking whether it goes ok.

The only interesting thing of most tournaments gets lost by doing things automatically. of course some here are too stubborn to learn from others, and others do not care as they already did all experiments 20 years ago, but there are many in these tournaments who like to learn stuff. Also i would be wanting to know how i can connect a supercomputer to the FICS protocol. I need SSH2 (if not already ssh3 exists) to connect to it and i can't get outside with it. Ever thought of that? Disaster disaster already if you go manually. Imagine what happens if i try automatically... >On October 28, 2002 at 11:45:38, Gian-Carlo Pascutto wrote: > >>On October 28, 2002 at 11:41:04, Robert Hyatt wrote: >> >>>I think Uri meant the classic automatic tournament Ken Thompson and I tried to >>>get the ICCA to use for many years.
