But i know and understand that when program A learns, and program B is NOT learning, that program A can reproduce all the winning games, and program B does not know. and even if program B is stronger, than program A produces the only draw game it was able to get, and gets draw after draw... if this happens although program B IS a learner, but because the hidden autoplayer has a little "bug" none of the persons who HAD the autoplayer for months, and all of them are computerchess-experts !!!!!! - i do not see a reason to "believe" that the little "BUG" was overseen. I wonder why the others did not told us: this "bug" stops the learning programs from learning. they told us that especially in LONGER matches fritz gets unbelievably stronger and stronger. much stronger than in short matches. But thats understandable. Especially in LONGER games, if the opponent is unable to learn, the LEARNING gets more and more important. >Do you think that Junior needs this bug to be number 2? NO ! But the one thing has nothing to do with the other thing. amir sells his program to this company. he gets a free-version very early. he could have seen this "bug" too. but nobody of them tells us about. in opposite they give nice ADVICES like: call chessBase, ask matthias feist, ... call the chessBase hotline... pah - >Junior has good results against computers in your tournament without using the >autoplayer. right. but still the bug stands for cheating. willingly or unwillingly. and why has none of the testers seen the "bug" ? >Uri
