Hello computerchess fans,
my site of www.tornadochess.de is deleted from the provider, and since a couple of times i have no motivation to continue my tornado engine, i will pause a while.

That's too bad. I was using your engine as a test engine....

I, for one, enjoyed your chess engine very much. I hope you get back the motivation to work on it in your spare time. It's an hobby, and supposed to be fun.

:o Sorry, I don't understand your bipolarity: from an extreme motivation (positivism) to an emotional fit (negativism).

:? You have done that several times with your chess engines that I like a lot.

It is shame that you made this rushed decision once again.

Hopefully, you will think about it for the future.

Kind regards.

sorry,
that was not a rushed emotional decision, that was a logical decision for me, because a couple of month i dont made any improvements on my engine, and i did not deleted my chess site by my self, that was deleted from provider, i dont know why, and the other reason is because in the last time there are so many clone engines out, also they demotivate me not to continue.

sorry again... and i wrote i will pause a while (to make a break) :-D and i did not wrote i am completly stop my work....


best wishes so far,
Engin

it's more a shame today there are more and more clones out and many tournament manager are include those engines into his rating lists, much people looking only for the strength of an engine and not for the playing style or other futures too.

what we are get at the end of this story ?
1000 clone engine that are over 3000 elo ?

poor computer szene....
