Hi Thorsten: What you say worry me a little. I was already waiting W98 CSTAl version and now you say you are not going to do it because of all that complainning people. Why you bother with complaining people? The same you say nobody is coerced to use upgrades, you are not coerced to read and give credit to each unfair or unpleasant commentary anybody expel. I think Chris and you have some responsabilities to people like me that has been supportive all the time to CSTAL. I am sure for each guy blaming CSTAL, there are ten or a hundred that does not write a word but are perfectly happy with CSTAL. I would like them can get a win version, all upgrades, etc, and not just a handful of people more or less acquanted with Chris os known by him, etc. CSTAL is great. The more I play againts it, the more I love it and understand his different approach base in "putting pressure" and not just in looking the theretical best move according to the code source. That's the way ches is played! Chess is not a puzzle exercize, is fight, is calculus inside a fight, is a a contest, a matter of time, of dangers, threats, nerves, speculation, bluff, etc. And I want better and better incarnations of that idea. It is only a pity that sometime Chris seems to be the worst enemy of his own work. What happened in his site is a show of it, he let his side to be mauled from broadsides all around. I would like he had a bit of the attitude of Ed Schroeder in the sense not to ruin his crearture because an oblivion, a mistake here, a wrong upgrade there. It is about that I tried to write in that post where unfortunately my wording resulte too much harsh and unexact. Well, enough... Keep on the work, Thorsten thinking in me :-) Fernando
