True.
Especially, because in my SPCC Ratinglist, the balanced HERT Openings are used, not an UHO Book. So, this is all just stupid trolling by somebody, wo has no idea, what he is talking about.
By the way, this is taken from my website, above the SPCC Ratinglist, the testing conditions:
"Openings: HERT_500 testset (by Thomas Zipproth) (download the file at the "Download & Links"-section or here). Mention, the HERT-set is not an Anti-Draw (UHO or something) opening-set, but a classical, balanced opening-set."

Facepalm...

So take a look at the page https://sites.google.com/site/computers ... testings-2 and see what your book looks like - a tragedy.

Maybe you copied your stockfish commits from someone else too?
I will look into that.

It's not an obvious thing to many, you see the same argument used by others all over the board that books or openings should be balanced. Instead of insulting it could do with a minimal explanation what you guys mean to achieve with unbalanced openings.
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

It's never an argument, it's always a belief

It depends upon what you're wanting to achieve.

Having said that, most of us are hobbyists, and one can decide which results to look at, which rating lists to look at, which competitions to take an interest in, which type of opening books we prefer, and so on.

We've all had our share of criticism, which is okay as long as any such conversations are conducted in a respectful manner.
