In Reply to: Re: How many copies does a top program sells? posted by Wolfgang Battig on January 10, 2006 at 07:56:12: Interesting point, Wolfgang. Just how much of a 'freak' is the average CCC member? How 'freakish' am I? I suggest we put a list of "HOW TO TELL IF YOU ARE A COMPUTER CHESS FREAK" Let me start: 1) The CC Freak knows Toga. 2) The CC Freak knows Rybka. 3) The CC Freak knows Fruit. 4) The CC Freak knows Ktulu. 5) The CC Freak knows Smarthink. 6) The CC Freak adores Fernando Villegas. 7) The CC Freak knows how to extract the KING engine from Chessmaster. 8) The CC Freak knows how to use WB engines with old Chessbase GUIs. 9) The CC Freak knows at least a little bit about the UCI protocol. 10) The CC Freak knows the various CC rating lists. Any more?
