Thanks, note that many puters have consequent formula's, all DIEP accounts have in fact. Your complaint is quite right about some kids that play now and then a game and some manuals. Generally it goes like this: dudes play you. If they lose games, then they stop playing. If they win, then they keep on playing. If such a dude plays a similar dude that's having also too much rating for it's compu, then directly they put in their formula !computer or noplay the other dude. Generally the one losing is doing that. This behaviour sucks. This behaviour is because most play anonymeously on icc. If you want to play more than a few weeks on icc, then you gotta be fair, instead of playing the ones where you think you can win rating from. Sure, anyone can win rating from mofongo, but its operator picks simply only 3 0 matches against humans, or tries to 'milk' rating from a weak compu, in all cases using the engine with which the kid (12 years of age) thinks he can win with. Very laughable are crafty-crafty matches too. Secret (using crafty at alpha) versus mofongo at 1 0 for 100 games or so. Kid versus kid. Both kids not watching games as they have to eat or something. But generally most formula's are quite nice. Moron formula is playing standard *anyone* above 2000. And *anyone* in blitz above 2300. In past i had with DIEP and DIEPX accounts also set that guests could play it too. I dropped that as hardly anyone plays computers unrated. I think this formula is very fair. Moron is DIEP at a dual 550 celeron and it's idling a lot last 3 weeks. Mainly comp-comp games it's playing. For some weird reason most GMs prefer 3 0 against Mofongo... ...the idiots. I also added a 3 0 seek to moron recently and to my big surprise quite a number of idiots click it and play. Gotta be Kasparov among them too... ...as he has to confuse 'diep' in blue letters with 'deep blue' vars moron Variable settings of Moron: rated=1 wild=0 time=5 inc=0 noescape=0 minseek=0 maxseek=9999 manualaccept=0 useformula=0 open=1 ropen=1 wopen=1 ccopen=1 mood=0 seek=0 sfilter= shout=0 sshout=0 kib=1 tell=1 ctell=1 pin=0 gin=0 quietplay=0 busy=0 style=12 width=240 height=24 wrap=0 prompt=1 highlight=0 bell=0 oldmatch=0 examine=0 unobserve=1 autoflag=1 who="" players="ab!" lang="English" messmail=0 automail=0 mailformat=0 addresspublic=0 subscribe=0 formula = "!bullet & !freeweek & !wild & autocolor & ((!computer & ((!standard & rating >= 2300) | (standard & rating >= 2000)) & (standard | bullet | (blitz & etime <= 8))) | (computer&rating>=myrating-300&((bullet&etime>=2)|(blitz&time >=5&inc>=3)|(etime >= 30 & standard))))" Channels: 64 211 interface="WinBoard 4.0.2 + c:\diep\diepm"
