I do invite them to participate because these are the strongest Mark uniacke, stefan meyer kahlen, richard lang programs available ! They are new. and they are strong. and i like the programmers. Why on earth should i not invite these programs to participate. I mean, if YOU do a party in your house, wouln't you invite your best friends at first ? > (They neither took part in the Summer Tourney >nor are listed on the SSDF.) Hiarcs6 participated in my summer-tournament. Shredder did not participate (Stefan was in holiday). Diep 1.58.13 participated in my summer-tournament. All programmers were / are allowed to come with latest versions. The new hiarcs, genius, shredder, diep ARE LATEST VERSIONS. It is only logical to let them participate in another tournament, where they can show their leading qualities again. or ? As spock says: logic is only the beginning. And for sure, i like mark, richard, stefan and vince, and their intelligent programs. > How come you are not planning to include #1 on the >SSDF -- Fritz5, using its *tournament* book, and not the Powerbook CD? fritz has scored to weak in the tournament before. I want only strong programs in THIS tournament. He has not qualified for participation. Not that all the programs that are not in are shit, only that the summer-tournament was a kind of pre-tournament to test the quality of the programs, and that fritz failed. >Wouldn't >it give your tournament more plausibility, and your approach more objectivity? ?? Why ? Whenever i post a fritz game a bunch of strange people arrive posting i would have manipulated or i am cheating or whatever strange stuff. No other program has these kind of "chearleaders". Don't you think that it would be an enrichement to enjoy a tournament without them making loud waves just because their favorite programs failed to win ? I can live without them. without it. >This way you seem to behave like an overly stubborn, spiteful child bearing a >silly grudge. :-))) Thanks for you nice comment ! It is always good to have friends :-))) > And your grudge is only conceptual, a product of your own >mind-set, to which you are, naturally, entitled. Still, as a critic, I'd tend to >say that your grudge is rather too subjective -- you simply do not like fast >searchers (which you tend to call 'bean-counters'). Aha. I do not like fast searchers. Like nimzo, tiger, rebel, junior. Which i do all like. Like i do not like all fast searchers. Don't you think your statement are somehow illogical ? Because i don't remember that i hate or dislike junior or tiger or even nimzo. I remember that i have written many many good comments about the programs YOU claim i would not like. Do you remember when nimzo came out on the market and my comments appearing here ? I still remember them. But in YOUR eyes i hate fast-searchers. My friend - you have prejudices. And your project them. In me. > That is all.

I do not know what illuminati is. have no idea. please don't explain to me. >I'd love YOUR comments now. no probolem. you wish is a pleasure to me. >Best regards and welcome back again, >Djordje thanks again.
