I'm glad you're using a wide definition of "communication". :-) >So, what exactly have you done to help the SSDF in solving the issues in >question? What issues? CM9000 plays perfectly legal chess. It even runs almost any WB engine. Unfortunately ChessBase does not run as a WB engine under CM. So some work-around is called for. I was happy to make suggestions and debug the set-up. >Do you consider as fair the fact that they are using the opening book of a >competitor? It would be unfair if the competitor would actually use that book and win many games because of it. But I'm not too worried about both. >In this case, is the next Chess Tiger allowed to use the same opening book? Or >to use a mix of all available commercial opening books? As long as it is publicly available, yes. Then the set-up would be known, which is about the only thing that matters when it comes to testing. ... Johan
