IMO the community in computerchess isnt human. Sedat can and will come back for sure and he get's so many nice appeals and praises. But someone like Rainer Serfling will never come back again because he died a couple of months ago. Probably the English speaking members dont even know that he existed. He was organizer of a famous computerchess tournament in East Germany. Thankfully Heinz added a cross to his name on his webpage.

Something important that Sedat hasnt mentioned is the following: in times where Rybka is undoubtedly the best program differences could be tested by stronger hardware (different books too of course, Sedat!) which is simply too expensive in the long run for single testers. So, perhaps that might be a reason for Sedat to pause. Just asking.

All the best Sedat, I also have downloaded your games from time to time.

Family Kelly - Fell In Love With An Alien ringtones

Out in the fields
Where the farmers grow bread
When called for the meals
They took for the shed
Then dark came to fall
And silence was all
A beauty shone bright
Surrounded by light

c'mon now;

I fell in love with an Alien
Fell in love with her eyes
Fell in love with an Alien
I’m telling you no disguise
I’m in love with an Alien
I’m in love with her eyes
I’m in love with an Alien
I’m telling you no disguise

She came looking out babe
for a Romeo ‘caus
She ain’t looking out babe
for a homeboy
I fell in love with an Alien
I'm in love with her eyes
I'm in love with an Alien
I’m telling you no disguise

The moon went to bed
The sun growing red
A scarecrow appeared
And chased her in fear
She send me her love
Her love to me
And then we did grow
A big family

c'mon now;

Fell in love with an Alien
Fell in love with her eyes
Fell in love with an Alien
I’m telling you no disguise
I’m in love with an Alien
I’m in love with her eyes
I’m in love with an Alien
I’m telling you no disguise

She came looking out babe
for a Romeo ‘caus
She ain’t looking out babe
for a homeboy

Fell in love with an Alien
Fell in love with her eyes
Fell in love with an Alien
I’m telling you no disguise
I’m in love with an Alien
I’m in love with her eyes
I’m in love with an Alien
I’m telling you no disguise

Hi Sedat
Very bad news although I can very well understand your
decision. It's nevertheless a pity but I would like to thank
you very much for all you have done for computer chess
in the last years. And finally, I wish you all the best in
the future.
Kind regards
Kurt

Hi Sedat

Hate to see you go..... A question though, since you are no longer involved with computer chess do you think you could send me one of your Quad computers? :wink:
