Dear Mr.President thank you for your insight and opinion... for me of course the CCC has evolved(or should i say..mutated)into a silicon monster that uses human beings as servants/slaves..mere delivery boys ..just like when i get a home delivery of pizza or Chinese food.. most of the postings are humans reporting back what the computers have analyzed.. after the cry of "Gentlemen start your engines! is raised,(much like the bell in the Pavlov dog experiments),many then rush away to bring up their PC program ,cutting and pasting into the message box the analysis of the most recent version of the hottest program of the moment(which lasts about 5 minutes) many times the pastings and cuttings and postings are even without human comment a sad turn of events ...but so is the state of computer chess in general..i think my prediction for the future.. soon the silicon monster will be able to automatically cut and paste without the need for a human slave and we can eliminate human involvment all together on the CCC but never fear...i will still be here(i hope) to write my messages about the days of honor and glory in computer chess..when men were men and chess was chess your friend-enemy Vice President of History Steve >Dedicated units are almost not longer discusse because of very good reasons: >they not anymore represents the edge of progress in the field.
