Let's look at some of your great stuff. 1. In the game where Crafty offered a draw every 5 moves, and the opponent did not accept the draw correctly and lost on time, you ranted and raved about the TD's decision, even though it was _perfectly_ according to the rules we had in force. Rules are made to be enforced. 2. In that same game you ranted "crafty very unsportsmanlike offered a draw many times." Crafty offers a draw every 5 moves. It can be set to offer a draw every move, every 2 moves, ... or never. I chose 5 because GM players said "that is just right". Any more often becomes obnoxious, any less often can make a fast game difficult to agree to a draw in. BTW I have _never_ seen a _program_ called "unsportsmanlike"... 3. In the game SOS vs Crafty, the game was drawn at the end, with crafty having 0.0 for many moves, the opponent (apparently without endgame tables, or at least without the 6 piece ones) was saying +1.2... He had enough and offered a draw to crafty by hand, which crafty automatically accepted since it had been offering draws itself and had a draw score. You ranted about him "giving crafty a half point." I pointed out the error of his offering a draw in channel 64, but the game was over, ICC had recorded the result, and that was good enough for everyone there. Excepting you. 4. You continually seemed to have problems with Crafty winning. Even though you didn't have the backbone to show up. Why you didn't play I don't know, and don't care, you can make whatever choice you want. But you ought to stop knocking my program and fix your own. 5. I don't care if you never compete again. Doesn't hurt a thing. If you would just not show up when you don't compete, it would complete the experience and make everyone's enjoyment that much better. You _really_ need to grow up and stop your whining baby act. General consensus for the past couple of days was _not_ favorable with respect to your whining nonsense. Please take it somewhere else next time. You complained about Peter, you complained about the participants, you complained about Crafty, meanwhile we the participants complained about an "act" your parents committted many years ago that caused us to have to endure all of this trash. CCT7 was fun for all, and there's nothing you can do to change that. Except that had you stayed away from channel 64 it would have been even _more_ fun based on all the negative comments you drew when you popped in.
