Thanks for the link. I must say it has been a while since I read such
unmitigating crap. It is so incredibly biased it never at any moment comes close
to trying to appear objective.
"Nimzo, Junior, and Hiarcs are so-called engines..."
Thus endeth the review on Nimzo, Junior, and Hiarcs.
Or how about "Fritz 5.32 is well-known by many players, as it is distributed by
Chessbase"?
Yes, now I know all there is to know about how Fritz 5.32 plays.
I am glad he has helped me choose the program that fits me best. That and the
encouraging words on enjoying a game against the program:
"Just don't tell yourself that you will play regularly against these tremendous
powerhouses in tournament mode. Unless you have tremendous self-confidence, you
will not enjoy this type of competition."
Yes Mr. Chairman of the Dutch Computer Chess Club, your position on advising
people NOT to play against these very programs you are 'helping' them choose is
an interesting one.
