Well you can't seem to help yourself from throwing pot shots at me. First you insult my dear dear Nebiyu, saying Scorpio should be the one I should work on. Then when given your wish, you then attacked Scropio too with a Yikees. I gave you the benefit of the doubt but if you are like the rest of them tr.., then you should know for me it has been like "On to the next one" Smile Please understand I don't mean to insult you or anyone for that matter, but I can't work with anyone with your attitude. Thank you but no thank you.


Wow, this is a huge misunderstanding. When going over my comments. I admit the latter one was more confusing but I had a different interpretation. Explanations below:

1. I never insulted Nebiyu. I know better than to insult something like Nebiyu, which is many months of your labor. I have written large projects (though not chess software) that have been ignored and know the painful feeling. Why should we ignore Nebiyu? Also see comment #2 about ARM CPU optimization which might be applicable to Nebiyu as well.

2. On the scorpio yikes comment. My understanding of the statement was like this: You have written scorpio for the desktop which is > 2700 (according to CCRL). On the mobile, you claim its 2000. I don't believe that at all! It has given me a hard time in blitz games. That is why I dont feel good about my games vs Scorpio, it is very strong in blitz (and hence the sad face). I estimate it should be much stronger, but cant tell for sure. Its definitely not easy to beat it in 3 minute games. It's probably worthwhile testing. However, given that you did not yet fully optimize it for the ARM CPU, I am shocked with how strong it is already. I know many programmers have spent a long time to optimize their code for the ARM CPU.

3. I also find it funny that you think a person like me who has never written a chess engine in my life has the right to insult someone who has written a 2700 level chess engine! There are probably less than 50 people in the world who have ever written a 2700 level engine. I don't have an attitude. I am not happy with my chess strength (I worked over the years to get a reasonable rating, but am very far from a strong player) and don't have chess programming skills. I don't think I have a basis to insult any of your contributions.

Anyway, I feel its a misunderstanding. I apologize for contributing to misunderstanding. I am happy to test out Alienboard and be more clear with my statements. If you are not satisfied with my explanations, I have to live with that.
