Go up one level in this thread


What post were you reading?

I read one in which Vincent asserted that Christophe's program has less than 1%
chance of winning the World Champs if he entered it.  I don't think there's any
evidence to support that view (and plenty that suggests otherwise), so I suppose
this was just an insult tossed at Christophe by Vincent.

Christophe returned the compliment.

In addition, Christophe has stated many times that he doesn't want to
participate in the World Champs because he considers it to be a lottery.
Vincent claims that Christophe is lying, and that he's actually just too scared
to participate because he knows his program is too weak to win.

So, Christophe might have momentarily stooped down to something approaching as
low as the level at which Vincent permanently resides, but I think it was
justified.

Vincent is a special case, and we love him!  If his program just did a bit
better I would say that this forum without him would be like tennis without
McEnroe. Go Vincent!
