Tornado Website is down!

Post by Engin »

yesterday i deleted my website of Tornado, because i losed my interest in computerchess now again, general in chess too, they are other important things in my life to do.

good bye.

Hello Engin,

That is a pitty. I hope it is just temporarily.

Anyhow, if you lose interest in the "other things" (there are other things?) I hope to see you back as I hope to see Tornado back in the Top20 of the IPON ;-)

Really sorry to hear that Engin. I hope that you regain your interest soon.

Even though I know you've been frustrated with not making Tornado as strong as you'd like it to be, it is still a wonderful engine, easily good enough to beat most of us. A real king hunter!

Thanks for all the effort you put into developing Tornado and for sharing it with us.

Sorry to hear that Engin :(, but who knows, perhaps one day...
So good bye and good luck, it was nice to meet you online at CW/OW.

Hi Engin, it's a pity. I always enjoyed very much to use Tornado in my tests, it's a special one!

Real life has lots of more important things, of course, so I understand. But I hope to see you again on next Olivier's events... ;)

Oh well, Tornado 4.88 will soldier on on the chess960 list as a worthy opponent for many other engines.

Beat most of us?! That is an understatement, Graham :). I do not see any super GMs in the member list.
