The two activities are not mutually exclusive. I play hundreds of games against the computers and also play hundreds of games computer verses computer. You can also learn a lot by watching the compters play. In a similar way, we can learn by watching two GMs play. >isnt watching two engines play very boring for you? Not at all. >rarity of real chess players here,and more testers reporting their results thats >what i find everytime I visit CCC. There are about 500 GMs in the world. They are rare everywhere. Nevertheless, there are some very good chess players who post here. >you visit:CCC and sometimes CTF,chessbase,Chess server etc. >you automate engine tournaments,you dont test engines on longer time >controls,most of CCC people here run 1min engine tournament. I guess that most people play slower games than one minute. I also have a well known dislike for blitz. And yet I find (for instance) Pavel's Yace/Aristarch contest compelling for some reason. At any rate, I play slower games and the SSDF plays slower games and lots of others play slower games. If you look around, you will find them. If you do not enjoy the blitz games, then look at something else. If you look a the preponderance of games on the internet, you will find that most of them are blitz, even by the super GMs. So apprently, lots of people enjoy that somewhat chesslike sport.
