No It is clearly not the same. You have no chance against Boris Becker but Ruffian,Isichess,Diep and the king are not engines without chances against Rebel,Tiger or Deep Sjeng. Even if you look at it only as a commercial competition chessbase is not the only company in the world and the company that sells chessmaster is also competing against Loaksoft. Do not forget also that part of the private engines may become commercial and not as loaksoft engines so they are also comepting. > >This is ridiculous. You put some strong Lokasoft engines in a tourney with the >world elite absent, these engines happen to win against such nobodys as Isichess >or Diep and then you say "Lokasoft returns!". Isichess and Diep are not nobody. Diep drew in the past in tournaments even against Fritz and Shredder so it is not something that chessbase engines can be sure of winning against it. Isichess is also not a weak engine that you can be sure of winning. Why do you try to belittle the opponents? They may be 100 elo or 200 elo weaker but it does not mean that a win against them is obvious. I bet, these Lokasoft engines >would not have performed so well against Fritz, Hiarcs, Shredder and Junior. > >Andreas Chessbase is not competing in this tournament so I do not see a reason why do you insist on talking about chessbase. Chessbase could participate and chose not to do it but even in case that the tournament was a tournament that chessbase could not participate there is no reason to be against saying some good word about loaksoft engines based on result because they still compete against other non chessbase engines.
