Go up one level in this thread


Uri,
I hope that you will agree if we make a deeper analysis of the whole complex,
are you game? Thanks, and don't take anything of that too personal. It isn't.
The truth is that I am reflecting such questions since long, and from a science
view I see questions over questions but few answers.

Ok, that's a good idea. However -

Who said that? Not programmers but PR spin doctors. Totally different world.

You are a bit talking around in approximate terms. What logfiles and where. Why
only in a few cases. That sounds synthetic. Usually you gave much better
evidence.

If someone else would say so whould you believe it? Give us the data.

This is unbelievable! Usually you are among those who want to see facts and you
here pretend and pretend without facts at all. "Based on this"? Based on what??
And on that what you don't elaborate you base your guesses?

But of course you won't show only a single piece of data! Because that would
disturb the debate.

Aha, fine! With the queen on c5, yes, I see, then FRITZ is almost 4 times better
than DB2!! Wow, when I saw that I was quite impressed. Positionally I think
FRITZ is another factor 5 stronger! But perhaps that comes down to factor 3. But
at least we (!) can say that today's commercials are stronger than DB2. (etc.)
But let me now continue with my RESEARCH!!!

Yes, and hot air is not research.

If the data you have is secret then perhaps we could discuss the methods? When
you make the statement "DB2 was only less than 2x faster", how do you prove
that? Could you explain exactly what that means? Do you take isolated moves out
of context and compare them? How do you know what the time for a move exactly
means? In context of a game. Excuse me but that are the questions to begin with.
If we have more data (than zero at the moment) I can add the next questions.
