Timo announced me he would stop testing engines because of poor feedback and lack of interest of people in discussing the games he provided FOR FREE! And honestly I agree with him! He did a wonderful work, and I wish him all the best in his career!


Since we are a forum for open and free discussions, let me disagree with your concern. I could follow the whole topic which started in the German CSS, where many known testers are talking. Mainly in German of course. So, perhaps you might have missed it.

IMO - it's just my impression and critic - the whole idea of Timo is a hoax. Because IMO he was concerned about engines like Komodo because of its only 1-core actual state or in Junior 13 because of its weak play in TC which is common nowadays. So, Timo and others tweaked the usual testing precedure by crippling intentionally well designed engines like Houdini (probably the best) so that the other mentioned could still have a chance. That is as if you would plan to test a F1 spider car with a bicycle and therefore the spider must run on three tires to make it a fair challenge.

Why should one cripple intentionally the best programs? There is only one single possible answer - the now really weak former top programs of commercial authors have an interest to let it appear as if they still had a strong competitor in the race which is absolutely not true.

In case of Komodo it's the problem with the MP that is still not ready. So Timo shows interest in core-1 matches.

Everybody is free in his ideas and decisions, but I thought that I should lead your attention to that sort of actual hoax.

It's a cheat to the thousands if not millions of human chessplayers who want to train with the actually best possible engine and that is actually Houdini, not that it would be really stronger than Rybka, but Vas is keeping his novelties safe because he knows that most others only wait that they can use his tricks. But anyway a chessplayer therefore will analyse with Houdini. For sure not with Junior 13 as the hord of fans wants to insinuate in CSS with their welcome addressings.
