It makes this club solely a technical discussion on bit boards, null moves, cpu's and whether or not Chessmaster or Hiarcs is #1. I have seen a myriad of posts that dealt with moderater issues that have had zero to do with computer chess over the last year. This club's success is (in my view) that it's discusion platform is broad enough to include the computer PHD programmers and also the computer chess playing enthusiast like myself. If a thread doesn't interest you then fine, but don't try and limit this club to fit your narrow view of computer chess. While this club is a technical platform for sharing ideas on chess programing it is also a place where computer chess enthusiasts come to hear men and women from all persuasions and cultures speak their minds on a broad range of chess/computer related issues. CCC is a great place to learn and enjoy, lets not quench the knowledge base by saying a post has to meet some narrow test of what is computer chess. TP
