Are your students a good training for such >pompous bragging types like VD? No. Vincent is basically hopeless. He _believes_ he knows everything. He _claims_ he knows everything. But when he actually has to _produce_ something, here come the excuses. IE in years past he would have won the WCCC or WMCCC but he didn't have fast enough hardware. This year he had himself finishing at the top. Didn't happen. It should be intuitively obvious to the casual observer that if he were as good as he claims he is, he would produce _some_ success here and there. IE we've had 5 CCT events. I've won one outright, and tied for first in another. Haven't seen him around. Doubt I will _ever_ see him around the top group. The problem with the classic "idiot" is that not only doesn't he know anything, he doesn't know that he doesn't know anything. That leaves him in a world of hurt. Just read Vincent's posts and claims, then look at his "proof" and "results". They are light-years apart. They likely always will be. Because to get better, you have to first figure out that you need to improve. Until reaching that point, nothing good can happen. > But isn't it also sad to see how stupid one can >be in refusing all kind of helping hands?

Let's translate as "unwilling comic" in his >statements. If I were you I would give him ZILCH of real importance for his >future developping. What do you think what he would tell the World the moment >you must quit? It is just another "sign of things to come." He can't/won't read. The statement "if I lose, I should retire from computer chess" seems to be a bit beyond his comprehension. He sees "lose" and "retire" and that's all he needs to see. He "fills in the blank with words of his own choosing" as he always does. >The guy is looking very nice but he hasn't any kind of education. >BTW I have proof by emailed text from him personally. If he had still the >tradition from the 96's many others should hold the same stuff in their hands. >It's NOT about you in personal, Vincent doesn't respect _any_ kind of scientific >forerunners. So far it's only fair that he's always dumped in the tournaments. >I'm talking about the divinal Gods... Yes. The only thing interesting about Vincent is his incredible ability to continue to spin new excuses. Bad book. Opponent had a killer book. Bad luck. Not enough depth. Bug here. etc. IE he continually puts down Crafty (and most every other program for that matter). But then he can't beat it (them). His "put-downs" would be oh so much more believable _if_ he would just beat the program he is always putting down. One day, Vincent will be the living example of the old story about young people vs old people: "a 25 year old is talking to his friends, and he says you know, when I graduated from college, I knew everything and my dad didn't know anything. I've been out of school for 5 years now and it is _incredible_ how much that man has learned in that time." :) You see the moral. The old man didn't learn a thing. The _young_ one did. One day, the light will come on, and Vincent will suddenly realize that there is way more to the world than his flat-earth-society mentality allows him to see. IE he has _already_ declared that clusters will _never_ play chess effectively. :) Because he can't see a solution. Of course, that means that no solution is possible. Until someone shows it to him. He has _not_ exhausted all the NUMA tricks of the parallel search trade yet, and no, I am not about to tell him more. :) > >Rolf
