You probably meant libel (regardles of this virtual and ephemeral, but still
published, form)...?  However, the first thing that comes to mind is to ask you
what is false and defamatory about my testing these two engines at blitz? Did I
say something false:  the book is as it is, the results are there, the pgn is
provided...  Believe me, it is nothing compared with what some people say about
other people's engines:  e.g. engine X is but a clone of engine Z, or even
worse... without any proof whatsoever.  In this particular case you've got the
pgn, you've got the engine specifications, you've got the versions of the
program, the time controls,the name of the tester -- I should hasten to add that
both programs used 32MB of hash;  thus you could try and reproduce the games as
well.  You are even welcome to it.

Will you please clear up your interpretation of the term you used to describe my
post?  The term is "slander".
