Go up one level in this thread


Thanks for the information. Let me add in return something important which would
also explain the big interest of the journal CSS.

Mikhail G. sees himself at eye-height with the programmers of the chess
programs. He claims that he has worked on the analyses of "his" positions for
years! And he sees himself justified because the test results from Manfred
Meiler do show that the CSS-WM-Test ranking list (for actually some 300 engines)
is similar to those lists that are made to test playing strength. So, Mikhail
claims that his test is ALSO a good indicator for the playing strength, and
more, in case of criticism, Mikhail can make the counter argument that his test
does only deals with "analytical abilities" which is allegedly the base of all
strengths. So, this is the real reason for the mass hypnosis of the dear CSS
readers. So, even those who dont like MG still can have the delusion that
"their" test is kosher because there is no critic against it.

Germans a higher level than Americans? Unfortunately not. I mean, you can say
what you want, you can show all the wrong decisions for false political issues
of the USA, but take what you want, at least it doesn't end in the so-called
(German)total war, where all humanism is de-activated as if there were no longer
a future for a people, a country or the whole human race.

I wished that Germans could behave a bit longer in that rather untypical,
imperfect manner... in politics, but no way in science. That CSS-WM-Test
nonsense must find its correct end.
