If nothing else, KK puts a lot of hard work into his reviews, and I respect that. But this post was in response to a message that he posted here, which was obviously intended to provoke (or stimulate, if you prefer) debate among CCC members. I believe you will find very few, if any, professional players among those who post here, although there are several professional programmers. Of course, we don't know who is reading without posting.

Obvious, yes, but it gets overlooked all too often. How many posts have you seen that run something like this, "I am a class B player. What program should I buy to analyze all my games for me and help me increase my rating?" ? Marc Plum
