Ok, thanks again Guenther. Let me put a footnote to the whole debate or misunderstanding. Just from logic. If Erdo is now correcting the details of his server play then fine. If Erdo formerly did NOT play in private rooms and tested in public, he knew that spectators might be attracted and could be invited to post the games if Zappa would lose. Where is the problem? If there is one then it's all on the side of the ones who decided to play public games. I didn't know the details before your explanation but now with it I must conclude that also under this consideration people were unfair against Eduard. He thought he could show to CCC interesting stuff. Sensational stuff because it's not so frequently happening that Zappa is losing. If Anthony or others were upset about these games (as they were posted here in CCC) then they should have directly addressed ERDO but not Eduard! Could we say at least this? But I see a hidden point behind this all. Even if Erdo played the tests in private rooms he had opponents. And at least such opponents should have the game scores. Under such a perspective it could be said that it's a test and no matter of the results, please let's keep this as tests. In the longer run Erdo would see who is serious and who is just seeking for the sensational loss of Zappa. This is all something what could be clarified in our little scene. Next time perhaps person X would like to test say SHREDDER X for Stefan under the same experimental conditions. Then Erdo or other operators for Zappa wouldn't run to CC either if Shredder lost some games in a test. So, after a while people get ranked after their seriousness and moral standards. But in case of Eduard, the mere insinuation of bad intentions is false if the above wasn't mentioned at all. Thanks for your details since I was on a very old state from times where people could get incited to post games from pre-mature versions (as so called beta testers) of programs and so basically violating the "contracts" for beta-testers. All that certainly must be clarified in case of server play too. In my eyes Erdo played rather carelessly these games (on playchess as far as I know) and here in CCC his author/master himself showed surprise and directed his anger against the messenger Eduard. This is a well-known 'don't do it' since the old Greeks! Bashing of the messenger and NOT the source itself for the bad message. But thanks to your explanation I could now understand why at all the critics of Eduard became angry. Could you please follow me by now accepting that Eduard is innocent and that Erdo is the real source to blame? - Which wouldn't take away the least from Erdo's own merits in relation to the successes of Zappa! I hope that the affair could be clarified right now. Again, best wishes for your Sunday, Rolf
