Re: One imagines that Anand has the better background and Ge
If in these days, one of the opponents was Alekhine in his prime, or some other old biggies, or even Fischer, I wonder if the games would be any more entertaining than now. I think the difference is that pre-1970's players did not have access to computers and therefore could not utilise engines and...

Re: Antivirus recommendations
I have used the Comodo free version for a long time without any problems, and since it comes with a very strong and configureable firewall too, so much the better! I would fully support this. I have tried most of the anti virus offerings and have found Comodo Internet Security th...

Re: Have you had a gutsful of clone accusations?
I sense that many of us are sick of them. I wonder if this poll will bear that out. Graham, Yes, yes, yes - absolutely 100% sick of it. I have been visiting this forum for several years (maybe not contributing as frequently as some, but when I have something constructive to offer). It used to be a ...

Re: Standings after Round 10 of 30
Hi Graham,
Have you ever run any tournaments which have included Clueless 1.4, Monarch 1.7 and Roce 0.039 together ? These are 3 of my favourite engines and I find them close in strength in small tournaments I've run, but would be interested in your results if any.
Many thanks.
