You made the statement with the content of the post. Peter made no mention of
the header.
"This program to me seems stronger then Rykba, it plays a mean game of chess and
doesn't give the human player any chances at all, great program i think."

I am not sure you could point to the SSDF list as validity in any form. First
they didn't test Rybka and all other rating lists clearly show it as stronger
than any other engines. But that said you certainly don't need evidence for a
statement when it is clearly written as a personal opinion.

>Based on the number of responses many people obviously found this interesting

Apparently though after making the post you didn't find any other comments
interesting as you didn't reply to any of those who replied to your original
post. Not that it matters, but to me at least posting what is a personal opinion
and then not replying to those who chose to reply just seems a little odd.

Sarah.
