Nothing can motivate a person who has posted 4 1-star reviews for all my books in the matter of couple of hours.duncan wrote:I do not know , but how about replying to him on amazon and see what is motivating him ?Lyudmil Tsvetkov wrote:Probably I should not be posting this, the other thread running now on the main forum might be sufficient, but, as I am too emotional, I was just surprised to find another 1 star review, again without a verified purchase, on Amazon, this time about Part I of 'Human versus Machine':

I might be overreacting, but I simply wonder why a book about beating the top engines, i.e., doing something close to the unimaginable, should receive bad reviews?
Of course, almost nothing in the review is true, obviously the reviewer simply did not read the book and has a grudge on me, it might very well be one and the same person posting under different names, but it still hurts.
I would be glad, if someone on this forum, who has read the book and has a different opinion, could help a bit and share his thoughts on Amazon.
Why are people so grudgy?
A person who claims there are:
- spelling mistakes everywhere, when Amazon software finds none
- illegal chess positions everywhere, when there are none, etc.
Except the desire to fully torpedo my hard work.
I had been relying on some members who know me better and have read the books, or know my sparring games with machines, even only by watching on this forum, to help me correct a bit the negative marks, as this is quite important on Amazon, but unfortunately people seem to be mostly unavailable at this time of year.
That is life, when you are writing original stuff, you should be ready to shoulder the consequences: most people are not very fond of originality.
