Contest: Most members actually met.

[CRoberson]

How many members of this forum have you actually met face to face? Members past or present of the computer chess clubs. I am guessing that some of you guys from Europe have met more than I. Vincent has likely met more.

For me the list is (in chronological order):
1) Steve Otto
2) Stefan Meyer-Kahlen
3) Amir Ban
4) Shay B.
5) Remi C.
6) Guy H.
7) James Robertson
8) Erdogan G
9) Gian-Carlo P.
10) Gerd I.
11) Andrew Williams
12) Peter McKenzie
13) Vincent Diepeveen
14) Munjong Kolss
15) Muntsin Kolss
16) Tony van Roon-Werten
17) John Kominek
18) Brian Richardson
19) James Swafford
20) Bob Hyatt
21) Pradu K.
22) Ted Summers
23) Larry Kaufman

If I left anybody out, I apologize. I made the list quickly.

6) Guy H.
8) Erdogan G
9) Gian-Carlo P.
10) Gerd I.
13) Vincent Diepeveen
16) Tony van Roon-Werten
23) Larry Kaufman

Other people that come to mind are:

Richard Pijl
Harvey Williamson
Ben-Hur Carlos Langoni
Volker Annuss
Clemens Keck
Allard Siemelink
Richard Albert
Stan Arts
Pedro Castro

I have only met a handful of CC folks:

Charles Roberson
James Swafford
Bob Hyatt
Pradu Kannan
Ted Summers

and briefly:
Tim Mann
Eugene Nalimov

It seems as though the camaraderie is waning along with CC in general of late. I, for one, would like to get together again in person, if practical.

Johan de Koning ???

Oh yes, I meet him every time in Leiden, of course. And at ICGA Olympiads. I just had never seen him post here.

Silvian, in your link I discovered this line:

We all should not support tools that are determined to crack
commercial software.
Kurt

IMO if that would have been supported from 2003 on we had no such split in CC as now. IMO the public demonstration and usage of such tools and then bhy anonymous entities, this gave us the rest.

BTW Kurt is still posting also here on CCC and more so on the German CSS.

May nobody say oh we didnt know it, sorry. There is no such sorry now.

"Tools that crack commercial software" have nothing to do with the ICGA investigation. The term "cracking" is generally used to bypass copy protection and use a program without having bought a legitimate copy. "Cracked" is a common synonym for software distributed as "warez" and such...

One doesn't need any new tool to look at a binary and investigate the assembly language inside.
