As you Know I am sure and many others here that several heated descussions about
cm6000 Have taken place over this type of "talk" K K also says the title was
meant to get peoples attention,Now why do you suppose he would figure this would
get peoples attention Hmmm... Not much thought needs to go in this ,dont you
agree? He has not ever started out a review like this another small proof of the
statement,He is a very smart chess reviewer for sure and when a product gets
reviewed it is stating good points bad points and then if this gets fixed then
it will be a great product so on and so on.So of course it was another negative
shot at cm6000 and for K K to to phrase it like this to stir a response (and it
is what he did he states it by saying he wanted to get peoples attention) I do
not like because if you know a product is good and there saying its not then it
will be offending just like with fritz5 a lot of people were defending it like
it was their child as a matter of fact alot who now are saying why are you
cm6000 fans getting so upset. I am prepared to bring up a bunch of chess
positions in which the "favorite" chess engines cant solve and cm6000 can
and there are alot!! then I am going to say what is the point of the analysis
feature in program A if the engine isnt strong enough to get it RIGHT!
Hmmm.. I wonder what the response will be?
