Subject: On Playing In A Chess Computer Tournament

Can i Ask a Question to those who do

what exactly is the thrill or competitve feeling one gets if they are not the
Author or have in some way contributed to the program?

i of course can fully understand the pride involved for the author or for
someone who contributed the opening book or made refinements to the program even
in some small way

but to simply load up someone elses program and be the operator ,having had
nothing to do with the program at all..and if somehow this program should place
high in a tournament or even win..does the operator get a sense of
accomplishment or feeling of pride?

if so,please explain exactly why that would be because i just dont understand
this
perhaps it is the hardware they are contributing to the contest?
would there be a sense of pride here?


perhaps i could see that

Best
Steve
