The SSDF is allowed to test anything they want. That's the bottom line, even though it is the top line in this case. Pleasing everyone is nice, as long as you're able to do so. When more than 1 player is involved it's a different story. >Last time this happened (with Gromit) it was specifically said by Alex Kure >that it was _not_ allowed to use the Fritz books to test anything other >than Fritz. So why is ChessMaster using it now? Did Kure give permission >(which I seriously doubt)? > >IMHO using the ChessBase learner for ChessMaster is also very questionable. Wel, here's something we agree on. For different reasons I guess, since IMHO learning should always be turned off. But we might as well revive the cooked book discussion of many years ago, and demand that the SSDF will only test fixed starting positions. Which BTW will eventually happen, when o-books are regarded as merely WC preparation. ... Johan
