Innocent until proven guilty, right? :lol:
To be honest,I can't leave or sign off from the CCC forum....still it's the best place on earth for computer chess issues....

I will stay and I will register in the new forum....I'll read what interests me,ignore what doesn't,kick a butt here and there but will never leave....why to give some certain dark personalities such a pleasure :?:
If I am pain in the a$$ for some,so be it regards,

Let's not pretend that you or we all or you and C.Theron had the authorization for a public court. In my books someone who wasnt convicted by a judge - is innocent. Never heard that you were a judge or anything near to that. For me Vas is a pure gentleman. And I recall that Vas and Fabien were together in Reykjavik. So, gentleman, plus the talks on Island is sufficient for me that everything was kosher between these two strong programmers. The strongest of the new century.

The rest is envie and character defamation. What you see as proof against Vas - that he doesnt speak - is for me just a typical style of a real gentleman. We should call him back!
I'm not a judge. But I am certainly "technically competent" in computer science and computer chess. And the evidence is convincing to those that are competent.

It comes from a neverending stream of posts of yours that contain statements such as:

"I am completely unconcerned about the reverse-engineering that has been done. Seems like a fair way to "even the playing field" by forcing a secretive author to expose secrets he has desparately tried to hide by obfuscation of this PV, depth and node counter displays. I'm not going to lose any sleep over this at all. It isn't my concern..."
And that has exactly what to do with my _SUPPORTING_ Ippo*?

No one doubts this simple fact Bob and if he does,he's either a liar or a moron or a combination of both....

Your vision on this issue is remarkably cloudy.

If you declared it a fair way to even the playing field, that is supportive of it.

fair 1 (fâr)
adj. fair·er, fair·est


Consistent with rules, logic, or ethics.
