Subject: Chess Genius 5 and Autoplayer and Rebel 10 rant.

Author: Richard Sutherland

Date: 23:18:20 08/14/99


I apologize beforehand if someone has already asked this here, but, I just
received an autoplayer 232 and I've been wading through my chess programs seeing
what works and what doesn't. Quite a few don't, but, only a few of those are
worth worrying about. My question is, can Genius 5 run on the autoplayer? Try as
I might, I couldn't get it hooked up to play against Junior 5.

I also wonder what the wisdom of removing the autoplayer capability from Rebel
was? If it was just to spite Chessbase, then they have actually ended up
annoying me, a customer. I haven't upgraded to rebel 10 yet and I probably wont
now. A lot of my computer chess joy comes from playing programs against each
other. Call me strange, but, I like it. With most of the other programs working
with autoplayer, I find it way too tedious to start entering the moves by hand
again. Any chance of the autoplayer feature returning in the next Rebel?

Sorry, had to have my say,
Richard
