In hunt for Fruit, found CCC, a very unripe fruit. :) Chasing and accusing a newbie usually happens here unless you introduce yourself at the very beginning,but don't worry things will start to calm down as computer chess is everyone's hobby. >The game wasn't great, I just tried to make it entertaining to follow with these >lovely CCC diagrams. Yes,But you are commenting very well on certain positions. >Let me tell you what the reasonably intelligent outsider's view of CCC is. >Obviously this is not _my_ view, because as you have read here various gurus say >I am a fool, an idiot and unable to play chess. :) They are probably low self esteemed people having very less ratings. >There are many people of varying chessic and logical and computer abilities >here, a good mix for a club. yeah,I agree.But Only Uri Blass I have noticed. >But there may be a widespread cabal of patzers (in chess, who is not?), whose >ELO rating (2100-2200-2300 and thereabouts) is one I would be embarrassed to >advertise was it mine, but who have come to believe they are super-GMs or >stronger and can therefore call super-GM brilliancies "nonsense" and even worse, They are only exposing their own character. >freely without fear of contradiction.

Don't mind me, please. But your game comments here shows that you are a chess enthusiast,that's enough. >>MAy I ask you about your chess tournament experience?Do you have any >>ratings,FIDE etc?If so,What's it? > > >Those are mine.

It's really great that you have defeated Fruit on the faster hardware,posted here commented about your game.Fabien would be having hard time to defeat his own engine. >I am not long for here, so - please judge by what you directly observe and test, >not what is claimed. Be objective and orderly! You should not be slightly rude,If you show any rudeness,ban will be in effect. Better place is to talk at CTF,the link is http://www.talkchess.com/forums/2/index.html They have completely different charter rules,almost all messages posted are free from moderation. >Best, > >A.S.
