Fact that you use several engines may be the reason some put you on noplay lists, other possibility is if you use(d) underrated crafty clone noone wanted to play against. My advice: Earn a rating what others think is relative to your strength (processor+program) and they'll take you off their noplay... but _earn_ it :) ( BTW, how do you like when, say, around Xmas, buncha kids get they new Pentiums Zillion Mhz, get a free Crafty acct which is limited to playing humans under 2000 or so and suddenly discover that with their 2300-2400 can match other puters... And how would you tell if your new program version is better or worse then old one if its rating becomes meaningless? ) -Andrew-
