>>>Come on Guys,Start improving your level of play using any chess freeware!or a >>>software I find you are only wasting your time organising engine tournaments Depends on what people get from it, you can argue that going to an amusement park is a waste of time, but for those who have fun with it, it is not. >>You enjoy playing chess. Others enjoy organising engine tournaments. Its fun, so >>why shouldn't they do it? Not to mention it is helpful to chess engine >>programmers like me. > >Fun for newcomers,I dont see if this is also a fun for addicted engine testers >dont they find anything boring at all? Just because you don't find it fun, does not mean that it can't be fun for others and because you don't understand it does not make it a big mystery either. You are projecting your own values onto others if you can't accept that. >>>isnt watching two engines play very boring for you? Nope, i play a lot of chess myself (mainly against my dad) and i still find it great fun to see an interesting position unfold, whether that be between two engines, engine v man or two humans. >>Actually, no.

Again this is a computer chess forum... people are posting games, it just happens to be games in thread with the forum theme, maybe you should go elsewhere if you are so unhappy here. http://www.chessgames.com is a good place to start if you want to see human v human games. >>>controls,most of CCC people here run 1min engine tournament. Not true, Both Kurt and Graham does a great job running long timed tournaments of very high quality and the fact that you fail to mention that says a lot about you.
