Is it fair if the icon of CCC is being abused this way? Please come back to normality and stay on-topic. And for all please respect also my human dignity. You cant sale me in auctions, I'm not your slave, understood?!

Rolf, your passionate moral plea for manumission is unpersuasive. The economic argument, however, does persuade. It is noted that no one has made a bid for you, which indicates that your fair market value in the auctions is nichts. Therefore, schlaf gut knowing you won't be traded away from the CCC plantation.

That ain't no deal. I ain't no fool. We both know that the posts in that other forum are nothing but thieves' propaganda, links to cracks, chess porn, photoshopped pics of Vas' girlfriend making out with a blue Avatar, detailed step-by-step instructions on how to decompile commercial chess software, credit card numbers and home addresses of the owners of Chessbase, Rybka, Aquarium. You know such posts would be immediately deleted by Fuehrer Banks.

The Atlantic slave trade has now been revived in the 21st century, albeit limited to the denizens of computer chess. I implore the master of Rolf to treat him with as much dignity as one would bestow upon a herd animal.

Having just returned from his job in Peru scrubbing Van Der Sloot's prison cell latrine, Rolf has acquired some domestic skills that will be quite useful to his new master.

Unfortunately, Rolf doesn't know how to operate any chess engine other than Rybka 3, and so will not be able to run chess engine tournaments for his master with any engines other than Rybka 3.

Slavery may be illegal in your country; therefore, you may wish to consult an attorney before consummating this transaction.
