Go up one level in this thread
you gave a good description of friendship and happiness in chess tournaments like AEGON but I fear it is because you are no expert in chess. you need the direct conversation with operators and if possible with programmers. of course this is impossible with real chess masters. what would we (I include myself) possibly be talking about with such experts? the operators and programmers are no chess experts themselves (with little exceptions as I know). Of course you can talk with them about everything except chess. Real chess masters are artists and sportsmen and -women. Why should they talk with you about their private life if you are not one of them? I dont want to spoil your fun. It's a hobby like so many others. But you should also tolerate the fun of people who come from chess into computerchess because they want to enjoy the play against chess machines. You should see that for them the mere testing engine vs engine has not the importance. Therefore I agree with you that AEGON should be re-invented because it brought the fun with human vs machine chess. Of course with the neccessary silence in the hall for the human players.
