I always wondered about it and >never dared to ask... pah - as i said: the autoplayer have helped us to play more games. but they also stopped concentrating on chess instead of concentrating on RESULTS. i would like to discuss about chess and not about program x killing program y 12 times ! why not play the same game 500 times than. or playing it ONE time and multiplying the results with 500 ?? this would spare playing 499 games. for enrique : :-)))) >Enrique
