Who mentioned legal action??? Better to hang him from a tree. By his ears! (A sequoia...)

You have me confused now. I wrote

assuming that 'free GUIs' was meant to be the 'class' you were referring to. Even if that would be a wrong assumption, how is that 'provoking people'? If I misunderstood you, you should have been more explicit. "In its class" can mean anything. It could be the only one in the class of crappy GUIs, and thus be "unquestionably the best" in that class. Big deal! Litterally quoting you, you said "userfriendly Freeware GUI with nice graphics for all kind of chess related issues". Well, any of the GUIs mentioned in this thread has "nice graphics" and is for Chess. So is it strange that I lifted out the "Freeware" part as the main distinguishing trait? Obviously you exclude commercials like Shredder and ChessBase. But I would think that XBoard, and perhaps SCID, also fit your class definition. So I think that
any accusation of mis-representing your words
totally out-of-place.
I am making a genuine attempt to bring us back to a productive discussion about computer Chess, and you only reply with accusations about 'provoking people'. So who of us is seeking conflict??? So far your chessic contribution to this thread has been disapointingly meager, the only thing you seem interested in is criticizing my posting behavior, which is the moderator's business, not yours. I, at least came here to provide a link and info requested in the leading post, before you started to distract from the topic. Talk Chess, or go away!
