>GREAT POST, GIAN CARLOS! It is good not to be alone anymore. I am fed up with >this CB manía, Arna mania, etc, with the obsesion with the same and always the >same gui and/or multiengines gui's, As far as i know there are 4 gui's to choose from, if you want to have to opportunity to run tournaments and/or engine matches, including UCI engines: Chessbase Arena Chessmaster (only WB engines though) It is quite difficult not to seems "obsessed" if your needs are only covered by say 1-2 of the above GUI's. What do you suggest instead of CB and arena, are you so fed up that you might write your own GUI are are you just ranting? the very same thing once and again, the >tournament between machines, etc. OK, good to have that, but do not complain if >someone want to do something different. LOL, i am not complaining, i am just saying that if Zappa is not going to support UCI i won't buy it, if i was about to sell an engine i would want that information from my potential buyers and i suspect A. Cozzie is no different. For God sake, have all became robots >here? Not me. I am still a poor, defective, blood and tears human being that, >beliebve it or not, like to play chess PERSONALLY and get prgorams or dedicated >units to play chess, yes, me, myself, so I am for changes, for changes in GUI, >SPECIALLY in Gui and everything asociated with it. And we should of course feel the same way and have the same preferences, talk about robot mentality... I give a fart for engines, >not anynmore. The time for "let us get a better engine" were good for the 80's, >when the strongest engine was not better than even me. But now I am honest >enough to accept I am busted by any and since lot of time. And I have no time or >patience or mental inclination enough to feel great looking at engines vs >engines games. I for one love to watch engines play, i also use the as sparring partners, for analysis and i also enjoy watching how humans play against engines. >I play, I do not care to lose, I do not care make jokes with that and I care >about pretty products. >That's reason I prefer to play dedicated units. Nice, touchable things. >And that's the reason that, when playing programs, I choose the better made, >with prettier gui and all that. For what? To make of the game a pleasurable >experience in every aspect. >I have still a couple of eyes that like to see well made, well designed objects. >But many here does not understand that anymore. They have been mesmerized, >stupified, brainwashed by this "professional" attitude, this abstract, deprived >of life thing, this "put your engines ON" thing. Damn, they are like Doc. Spock. This is all yankee doodle dandy as long as you realize that people are different from you when it comes to taste and what brings them joy, what is one mans equivalent of watching paint dry is another mans amusement park.
