>>[FUNmode ON]
>>So I start with the usual list: (Mark what you think is important... :)
>>
>>( ) you played with the wrong time control
>>( ) you played against the wrong opponents
>>( ) you played against too many opponents
>>( ) you played against too less opponents
>>( ) the engine did not like your PC
>>( ) the weather was bad - this explains the result
>>( ) you played too less games
>>( ) you played too much games
>>( ) you played at the wrong days of the year
>>( ) you did not use the correct set of TBs (whatever correct is)
>>( ) you did not restart the PC after every game
>>( ) you DID restart the PC after every game
>>( ) it is too cold in your country
>>( ) it is too hot in your country
>>( ) you were bought

>The list misses an important point:
>( ) The engine has a well-known bug, use the bugfree version xyz
>
>
>And some more:
>( ) You used permanent brain
>( ) You played with the wrong opening book
>( ) You used the wrong GUI
>( ) You leave out the winning games just to harm the result to your intentions
>
>(I love this list too :-))

and of course the all time goody:

( ) you used the autoplayer - it is buggy !
