Saros Vitruvios -if...- Coming from Ctal

Post by fern »

The ideas expressed in his site by the author of a new project -that some pals believes is the one being tested by Robert Flesher- reminded me the ideas that Chris W. expressed when his Cstal project was beginning and was on the fringe to market it. I. Same concepts about producing situations of instability instead of making calculations based in an abstract Best move according to static positional and material criteria.
I have always believed that this is the kind of product human want, but also it must be recognized that those ideas are, in a degree, actually a commodity and you can feel many of them lurking in some "conventional" Strong engines. But of course, we must see the thing first before talking too much...
