Go up one level in this thread


Is it not very strange that Tiger is better than Rebel in computer-computer
matches. And to make a selection which programs that shall be allowed to
partcipate in SSDF-list is smart but not criminal. Don't forget that it is not a
game for Ed and his friends in the Rebel company to make best propaganda for his
programs. It is sooner a question about to live or die in their work. I would
have done the same as Ed if I had been smart enough. And he is smart. But that
is not the same thing as to be dishonest.

And his initiative to let Rebel play against Grandmasters was very courageous.
If Rebel had lost enough games it had been goodbye for Rebel in the market.

Don't judge him until you have walked in his shoes.
