This board IS about computer chess, of course. In fact, it is the best place
about computer chess that I know, including the "Intelligent Chess Forum". It is
true that there are quarrels, big egos and everything else that you mention, but
this goes with the territory. If the "big guns" make impossible to talk about
computer chess here, it means that it is not possible to talk about computer
chess anywhere, because those "big guns" are the people that know the most about
the matter. It is much more interesting to read messages by Hyatt, Moreland,
Whittington (when he wants to talk about computer chess), Ban and such people
than to read what Sean Evans or Rolf Tueschen have to say.

Bits and "beans" are also computer chess. There are another approaches, of
course, and I don't think that anybody is censoring these. If Chris, or anybody
else, don't want to talk about computer chess here they shouldn't talk here,
because this is a CC board, not an AOL chat.
