Go up one level in this thread


hi engin,
 i play at fics under the handle siliconc.
i dont use any formula so people can play whatever
they want unrated or not.
i also think a lot of players dont realize that if
their rating is a lot lower than the computer account,
(lets say 4 to 500 points lower for the sake of argument)
they may only lose 1 point.
that is not a bad deal to be able to play some of the
best commercial,and freeware engines on some of the best
hardware out there.
i also think there are a lot of comp. v comp. games,
which is why many engines have thousands of games.
comp. accounts typically have exotic formula's
to keep lower rated players and comp.'s from playing them.
i think this frustrates human players.
they then assume all comp accounts are like that.
thats my two cents worth.
regards
mike
