That is not that uncommon an event on a laptop. I use a bluetooth mouse, but my laptop has a synaptics touchpad as well. Touch that with your thumb while typing and the cursor will move unexpectedly.Adam Hair wrote:Clearly the confusion here is who were you directing this statementbob wrote:

Ad here is the link to my post, which _directly_ follows your post:

And here is the top of my post which followed yours:
So, my conclusion is, whatever you are on, you need to take _less_ of, and whatever you are not on, you need more of it. My post is directly addressed to you, not to anyone else. It directly follows your post, not anybody elses. And it directly quotes your post, in addition to the one you replied to.Bob wrote:Rolf wrote:MatsW wrote:The problem of opening theory in computer chess. What's the point in
measuring the opening book knowledge when arranging matches between

book before it was practically over in the final game against
Kasparov. Would the chess public stand up and applause if a human
player sat with an opening book in his lap, replicating the moves in
the book, and winning against the world champion? Of course not, they
would boo at him. I realize, of course, that it is a difficult
question, not the least because human players can play from memory as
well, although not nearly as good. Nevertheless, it is high time that
this practice is questioned in computer chess, at least in matches
between chess programs.
Most of us greatly enjoyed our break from this kind of nonsensical post. You apparently can't write a single post without tossing an insult at Deep Blue. Deep blue. If my memory is correct, and this can be checked by looking at the DB log for game 6 for anyone interested, they were out of book around move 10. The game went to move 20 or something, The game was not "practically over" at that point.
If you can't follow that, then perhaps you should go back to where you have been for the past month or two and stay there..

I have seen GM players play 30 moves before they stop to think in a game. Do they cheat? "
In the quote box above, it is clear that you were responding to Rolf.
Yet, I have to say that your post

seems to imply that Rolf wrote that statement. It is inside his quote
box, not outside.
I don't try to preview "everything" I write. Usually only if I am inserting code or data to make sure it formats properly. It would be far nicer if the editing tool here was a WYSIWYG process, but it isn't... and with CCC so slow, using "preview" is a painfully slow process at times.
