knowledge based by his definition might mean another thing that is well known,
like good opening books or something. Just because he says it here does not mean
that it is releveant only to this program.

Thats like saying when someone says a program is good at tactics. And to call
say he has no idea. You will look like the fool if it does mean something like
opening books or such. First I suggest you find out what it means before you go
around saying people have no idea.

I think it was pretty rude to say that. I wonder would your comment have been
the same if he said that about Chess Tiger instead. I think not.
