My Testing of Strelka

Post by geots »

Letting it be known that with information that has but recently come to my attention, I hereby cease any and all testing of the program Strelka, along with any of its updates, upgrades or new versions and/or names. I have been very lenient, but can no longer overlook what in my heart i believe to be true. At this time, i speak only for myself and no other individual or testing group, nor do i speak for any other member of a testing group.

Best Regards,

Please,

you are not testing for yourself but the public, the users. There are a lot of people you would like to see the new releases of Strelka on your list. You have chosen not to do a private, but a public job.

Otherwise, stop testing all the engines with doubts on their origines, and, among them, a few commercial engines.

Kind regards!

Hi !

You can do in private what you want of course !

But the results will be listed in CCRL list/group. So, people around the world, i'm talking not about the experts here, i'm talking about normal no-computerchess freaks ;-), will be thinking CCRL is testing Strelka !

Thats fact as i pointed out serval times here.

Best,
Daniel

ps: The problem is not your heart, it's the consequences what will happen with your results...

In this case I suggest that you and all the users who pay him money for testing strelka stop paying him.

If you do not pay him for testing strelka then it is clear that he does not do the testing for you and you are in no position to tell him which engine to test.

Oh boy, how will I live now without CCRL testing Strelka...
I don't know.

PS:
What would you do in CCRL if Strelka be proven not to be a clone of Rybka?

Is there some new evidence that surpasses the 100% evidence revealed long ago ?

Matthias.
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

@Manev: Are you going to commercially distribute Strelka? Because that would explain why you put so much energy into your tireless exculpation efforts.

Yes, Putin is paying me for defending Strelka. I will be millionaire after all this ends.
