Pardon me, you mean easily winning? And why SHREDDER didn't win (easily)? Why had it won with the aid of someone who threw a whole game although it was a draw? Could you explain your position? If you are a chessplayer yourself, could you reflect your position in relation to possible cases of a PATT or THREEFOLD? Would you dare to say that such draws are not existing because they are most unfair to the side which has a won game???? Do you mean that if you call something a "bug", that then this is like 'unimportant' or 'non-existent'? So, if I allow a draw by a PATT for instance, that then I couzld say that I had a bug and then I would still be judged as an extremely strong player? And my opponents would throw their game just to let me wi??? Where is this being played. Please tell me exact address. >The scandle occured due to a bug in Shredder. > So if SMK is commenting on the general quality of chess played by the programs >(which he seems to be) I don't really have a problem and I think he's correct. > The "general" quality of the chess is something SMK is completely impotent to judge. SMK has no chess master status whatsoever. Probably he's a good businessman as Daniel pointed out, but his thought process is really biased heavily. Please do not speak of chess in general if you talk about the actual computerchess with BOOKS and TABLES, which is cheating after the FIDE Laws. Rolf >Regards, > >Steve
