Sjeng and a heavy post from Vincent. What is exactly your problem with the post of GC Pascutto? I understood that he only criticized the reason that people give not to buy zappa(not supporting UCI) This is not the reason if the same people buy Fritz or Junior that do not support UCI. GCP did not criticize people who say that they will not buy zappa because it does not run under chessbase or people who decided also not to buy Fritz or Junior because it cannot be used as UCI engine not in Fritz's interface. I agree that his title was not the best and "you are all" is not correct when there is a minority of people who also not going to buy Fritz or Junior because of the same reason but I do not think that it is a reason not to buy Deep Sjeng. Note that I did not buy deep sjeng but the main reason is that it is not strong enough and I also did not buy some other commercial programs like ktulu and Ruffian. Uri
