It always takes to sites to start a flamewar. I think if you are a newcomer to a message board and post under a pseudonym, and post in an arrogant way, you will _always_ face the problems Mr S. has faced. It takes time and needs some reasonable posts to allow the forum readers judge you for good or bad. It doesn't help at all to reply to all attacks, because that is what a troll would behave like. Anyway, I think Mr. S. gave up to early. One "dubious" game is not enough to convince the majority here that Fruit performs worse against humans than the average Chessbase product. He should also consider that this is a Computer Chess forum. There are readers that know more about computer and less about chess, and others that know lots about chess but have to be helped to get an engine working correctly. regards Andy
