As harvey states i think it is worth listening to larry kaufman on this matter - i think this sheds new light on the whole issue.
It is a shame that such a great forum has been blighted with all this stuff - chess is great fun lets keep it that way

it seems you have problems to understand your own citation, which means:
enjoy chess, forget other people's business interests.

There seems to be a number on this forum that appear to out to make trouble and cause dissension - please stop - there is a great number that come here to enjoy their hobby and it is a shame if they stop coming here because of all the back biting.
Concerning robbo/ippo etc 'I think the saying the writing is on the wall is appropriate' Open your eyes, ears and hearts friends the truth that these are not legitimate engines is easy to see - but i think some are blinkered because they are getting a very strong engine for free...
Even better Slobo that promoting a certain commercial chess engine again and again and again is against the charter....slobo wrote:meschle wrote:Chess and computer chess is a great game and much fun can be had by all.slobo wrote:chess is great fun lets keep it that waymeschle wrote:Hi clare - a new poll though with same voting restrictions as the moderation election may give a fairer result.mariaclara wrote:Maybe these links can help clarify the situation.meschle wrote:

When you start calculations "this engine is legitimate, that engine is not", you are not enjoying chess anymore, you are giving support to the business side.
Let people who understand this matter expose their arguments.

My understanding of this is openly encouraging people to buy a particular engine. I haven't seen this happening.

Terms like "within reason", "abusive", "libelous", "flagrant" and "questionable" do not lend themselves to precise definition. The moderators job is to interpret them.Christopher Conkie wrote:Well if one cannot define what is may be illegal and is therefore questionable, then there is no point in having a Charter at all.
