Rolf, as much as i enjoy your interchanges for their soap opera quality, I don't think your accusations are quire fair. They rest on the assumption that Vasik is somehow manipulating us into promoting his product. I test the Rybka betas because it is fun. I think that is what motivates others. People here at CCC are very critical consumers. We are not being manipulated. We are having fun. best J On January 14, 2006 at 12:10:26, Rolf Tueschen wrote: >Perhaps I will also comment on Zappa next time but for now I must mention >another Rybka topic. > >For some time now I must read something the like: > >ChessBase failures >ChessBase GUI bugs >ChessBase makes Rybka old >ChessBase deficiences in super optimistic mode > >All such allegations have a common core and it is something dishonest. > >Let me explain so far.
