IMO you overestimate this. this is only 1 thing with vincent. he is a nice guy. strong characters often have strong emotions and strong extroverted behaviour. either you accept this or not. i do accept this in vincents case because i like him. >NB if you claim a theory and with a single >example I can falsify it, then your theory is wrong.

I am mainly interested in the games and the chess the machines produce. i like to share the friendship of others during the tournaments and all the year. of course some programmers are shy. others are extroverted. i am tolerant to oversee EGO of the extroverted and to help or to support those who are too much introverted. overall the climate in computerchess is much better then the climate in human chess. e.g. when a game is running, you can talk with the programmers, they talk with each other, you can analyze the game WHILE it is running and afterwards. in human chess you have to be quiet. you cannot look into the EVALUATION of a player. you can only anaylze the games in a secret room. but still it remains secret why moves have been played. different with chess programs. they give main line and evaluation and often the programmer knows why this or that move was played etc. so you can concentrate on the GAME while it is done, and on social interactions DURING the game. this is an enrichement for chess ! IMO it makes computerchess perfect for beginners, children and learners. when watching children on a championship you often see them crying when they lose. the parents often put too much pressure on the kids: why did you move Nf6 ? and the children cannot defend. completely different the computerchess events. small talk is possible and there is enough space for questions and social stuff. the highlight in computerchess was IMO the Aegon tournament. here 50 strong human players fought 50 strong chess programs in netherlands. this was the best i have ever witnessed. there was plenty of time for socializing and it was a real pleasure to participate. this was organised by cock de gorter and many others. we were all a big family and enjoyed it much. almost all conflict potential was forgotten and we had lots of fun. a pity that those events are past now.
