Again: there is no hype, but games and results. But you are right about some degree of recurrent overenthusiasm. As you say, we will all start seing the shortcomings, sure, and it is as it should be. No one said that program X solved chess, but some new programs, like Tiger and Shredder, are doing very well, have enough merits to praise them and then it is easy to get enthusiastic. My only point in all this is that it doesn't make much sense to shoot at people that post about new programs. That simple. > Or, if you like it, the porsche becomes old and another model is >chosen. Well... Fritz 6 is much better than Fritz 1, Shredder 4 than Shredder 1, etc. Not everything is hype and silly consumerism in CC. And anyway I prefer the Fiat 500, my favorite car. :) Enrique >Kind regards >Bernhard
