Sure i only read postings of you when a friend of mine says i should read one and when he gives me a link. My time is limited. From each hour that i am browsing on the net i try to limit the CCC to 10 minutes an hour :) >>Where according to your own definitions you fit in with movei considering you >>haven't gotten transpositiontables to work even? > >I did not try to use hash tables for pruning. >I also did not claim that I am a brilliant programmer and I also have not a lot >of experience.

So you have bugs in program preventing them to work correctly i assume. >Movei is also better than most of the engines so there are more important things >that movei knows and they do not know. >Uri So because movei is very good, you are a brilliant programmer. So DIEP is bad and movei is very good. Weird definitions. Reminds me: when do you show up at a world championship? All those big mouths here at the CCC always. Hyatt, you and some others. Why not show up at Graz? I'm sure that Donninger regrets his anti-american behaviour and in order to make it ok will do every effort to arrange an operator for Crafty if Bob wants to. Anyway, you live not *that* far away from Gra. When do you show up there? Or is bragging at the CCC easier than showing up there in person? Even if the airticket of 132 euro from Israel to Graz (south-east of Austria) is too expensive for you, you might find a sponsor for that i guess. Perhaps the Junior guys will pay it for you if you carry for them their heavy machine. Which reminds me. I need to do more effort than you to go to graz, because without ending up in public accussing, but in the world champ 2002 some participant has unplugged my internet patch cable about 6 meters away from where my machine was. Of course i didn't find that out, the system administrator did a day later. We will never find out for sure who did it. Nor will we find out whether it was done deliberately. But it is funny that just before a game your internet doesn't work. To protect myself against such problems happening again when connecting to a 1440 processor 3.xx Tflop machine (from which i hope to use 500 processors) i will be carrying all kind of backup systems with me. Analogue modems, mobile phones with modems and so on. Just to be prepared for possible disasters from happening. So i will need to drive by car. This in contradiction to you. Where the distance is 'perhaps' only 1200 kilometers to Graz, i must go over or through some huge mountains to get there i guess. It will be a long drive. Note for american readers, 1200 kilometers in europe is *not* comparable with 1200 kilometers in the USA. Every few miles there is road junctions and traffic jams. Not to mention that in november there will be perhaps snow storms and so on. Yet a lot of people like you i wonder when they will show up at world champs. Even when it is as a visitor. Whatever we say about nalimov never answerring his emails to programmers of engines, he *did* show up there as a spectator. Best Regards, Vincent
