Have fun! I am truly sorry that it caused you so much of your time because I posted f6 instead of fxg6, but what about the amount of time ChessBase has caused consumers to waste trying to find out the proper hash table formula for Hiarcs? Hmmm. I don't see you complaining about that. If we are to take your reply here that you are not interested in addressing further posts of moves by me, then you are saying that consumers shouldn't buy any further products from ChessBase for the same reason. That is my analogy. Let's take a good look at what confusion, waste of time that ChessBase has caused: i. The wrong manual with the wrong formula for hash tables. 2. A program with the wrong formula for hash tables under "System Configuraton". 3. A somewhat confusing matter about tablebases. 4. In Fritz 5.32 no explanation about the two opening books that are included. My error so disturbs you for the amount of time you supposedly wasted even though I did give you the correct move order in a post to you which you probably never even read thoroughly. Yes, I did give you the correct move order! However, you were too busy wanting to prove me wrong to even see that. By the way, your practice of deleting much of my post when replying is very deceptive indeed. You did that quite a bit I must say. > Okay, Steve, I caused you so much grief, but ChessBase is absolutely perfect in putting a product on the market with enough confusion and time wasted by consumers that it doesn't bother you much at all - right? I mean you still work for them, right? You haven't quit trying to explain all the problems associated with Hiarcs. But that jerk Mel who once posted a f6 instead of fxg6...well...you won't even look at his posting of moves ever again. Yes, we are all perfect just like ChessBase. Have you ever been wrong? If so, should anyone ever listen to you again? Mel >-- Steve Lopez
