What I had in mind wasnt that Vas manipulated but that other programmers could be forgotten. And today my concern was that users, not Vas, are kind of unthankful.I am a user of the GUI and database of Chessbase and I know that there are not so many bugs as they are mentioned here about Rybka all day long. There is no software without bugs. Please read my messages more as an invitation for thinking it all over. I have no agenda and I dont want to disable or disturb someone. Some critical points dont defame Rybka and Vas. All is still in balance in favor of Vasik. My main addressees are NOT the already critical thinkers but those who are just testing the very best at a certain moment in time. Those who play with Rybka on servers and who test engine version vs its own brother with a slightly changed tuning. For them it might be good to know the bigger context of what is actually happening. It's a pity that often my messages are seen as "destructive" in opposite to constructive. I am certain that I am constructively participating. But not all must understand me.
