"This Russian chess ship is a truly glorious achievement of the
October Revolution and Decembrists movement!"
I like that word you just created. It's quite funny, and got me wondering... Is this what computer chess has become...? I really long the days when men were men and wrote their programs in C, starting from "int main(int argc, char **argv) {}".
When I look at Stefan Pohl's LS rating list, it's not even a chess rating list anymore. It's really a compiler rating list...
How about Chess Compiler Rating List (CCRL) ?
Donskoy used to say that it was easy to determine which chess program was bettter: The better one won. Not so simple these days. You're most welcome to use the word 'oucompile'! I hereby declare it public domain.
