I wondered about Albert's firm stance. If he is paid for this stance, it's one of the most disgusting public appearances, and is clearly punishable. Even in politics one has to acknowledge his interests, why not ban these members?

It is funny, since I thought it was incredibly obvious:Kurt Utzinger wrote:I do not understand the headline.Albert Silver wrote:"As far as sites are concerned (this is my main and constant source of information): maybe I am not curious enough, but for me the sites ChessPro, ChessBase and e3e5 are completely sufficient."

It is a reply to the series of threads that have only one purpose, to knock Rybka or Chessbase, for no apparent reason. They are theVas and Rybka aare the 'devil'. Since there is a thread regarding this interview, carefully quoting a part where he uses and recommends on of the clones, this is to point out that he actually reads and like Chessbase (the 'devil').
Actually I was pretty shocked at how much he and many others dislike Mig.

I am one of the oldest members here, and even I am not delusional enough to think we are anything more than a minuscule drop of water in the bucket.
