How comes that I expected this argument? 1) a program should play well on each hardware, especially well when playing another opponent on same or even slower hardware 2) I bet that if I had 2 K6-3-400 and would play this match again, the result would not differ much and again you would want a faster hardware. Isn't it strange that you always find excuses when Tal loses, Don Quixote? And Patzers ALWAYS have excuses when they lose. The only way to stop critics like me is to show me/us much better results or let me/us reproduce better results. But there is a deep lack in better results as the only one doing it is you... >>CSTal palys interesting games, no doubt, but the sacs and the play is not as >>sound as the King's, WChess and others. > >it was not designed to play what YOU call "sound" sacs. Then it plays like mad because what I call sound is an attacking sac which leds to a win or if it was not really correct, leads to a draw. I do not need incorrect sacs. Every patzer can play incorrect sacs. As Bob already said, it is nice to have an exciting playing style, but it is better to have a win ratio >50% and no user wants to have a program getting 25-40% only. >it was designed to play chess. not to play machine-chess. So Tal is designed to play incorrect sacs to lead humans astray? Sorry, I can only laugh about that. :-))))) >>So goodbye Tal from my harddisk... > >i think this is the best thing harald.
