When Ribka author came here to ask for beta tester, lot of voices suggested this guy was posting a troll because he said Ribka had defeated a big commercial name. I simply followed my rule of giving trust to anything and to anyone if it has NOT been demostrated that the guy deserves suspicion and so I asked the engine and became probably the first guy here that experienced the uncredible strenght and novelty of this engine. And I posted about that. Now that is history. Ribka is the new kid in the neighborhood. Everybody want to have it. Even me, a chess nobody, received several email asking the engine. So, what a lesson can you get from this? First, be confident of what is said to you instead of putting at once a pseudo foxy face of distrust that poison everything. Second, if you are deceived, it is not your problem. You always can be deceived. It is not a test of intelligence. Third, always expect the unexpected. Fourth; those betting that knowledge is the last word of chess programming will be proved right, I guess. Thorsten deserves to be recognized for that. Narcisistic for Once in a While Regards fernando
