You remember how often the home >page was modified, don't you? Well they wer'e the one I meant anyway .. But, what does it matter that the homepage changed? why is it wrong? Vasik works and listens to the commounity and changes things appropriately. I wish all chess programmers would act that way. about the deadlines- why does a little delay(few days, weeks) change so much? it is much better than waiting 2 years for a new engine, isn't it? The fact that the author himself makes his schedule and plans public is admirable. > >>What's your problem with it, really? > >There is only one thing I don't like in Rybka. The marketing policy.

What do you mean by saying "too aggressive"?!What's wrong with the marketing policy? please elaborate, I really see nothing wrong about it.(opposed to the chessbase marketing technique which is 99% propaganda and throwing away ballistic false statements.) >I once called Vasik a great psychologist. And I mean it. Everyone has the right to say and plead whatever they want if they have good arguments. Vasik argument is called "Rybka" :) . > >Gábor Arnon.
