LOL.I never doubted it. But I think they pretend something they don't do. Their
number one is not an independent result. - But look, I thought we had finished
our exchange; to me this is worthless because you simply don't understand my
points. Hey, as I said to the other guy here, believe what you want. Doesn't
bother me. I try my best, then I try to explain where the mistakes are, but when
I recognize that someone is mainly incabable because he has a certain agenda,
here pro SSDF by all means or let's include ChessBase, then a real debate
doesn't happen. And note I don't think you are stupid! You simply are not
interested in theoretical debates while that is my only interest. I try to get
the best result no matter whose interests are possibly touched. That is why some
people don't like me. But personally I have nothing against other members here.

Have a nice time here,
