assistant: Hello !!! I am the system operator of the bbs that Steve plays on here in
Memphis, Tennessee... the message you sent Steve arrived here as a NETMAIL
message... I am the only one on my bbs with access to the NETMAIL area, so if
I do not move the your message to the CHESS ECHO, Steve will never see it...
So, I suggest that you reply to Steve's messages in the same message area
that you receive them in: the CHESS ECHO message area... that way Steve will
see your messages and I will not have to move them for you...
Thanks !!!

I was very happy to see Deep Blue win the match.  Game 2 and Game 6 were
phenomenal!  Game 2 when DB moved his Bishop to e4 on move 37 effectively
blocking in Kasparov.  Some assumed DB would move its Queen for position, but
DB was looking longer term :) ... Game 6 when DB threw off Kasparov
completely by sacrificing its Knight on move 8 ... Kasparov then lost his
will to play :)

    I reviewed the game, and your right. It's a fine example of domination
and good diagonal play.  But, you
opponent made several really hesitate moves that helped you and were bad for
him. For example,move 14 qc8 was a wasted move and also h6 on move 12... Both
of these killed him. Send me some more. And I'll send you a few from this
past weekend's tourny in Jackson MS.

from what I saw in the text the only dealers to get it are in Europe and
Im not going to pay a fortune to get a chess game.
I know M-Chess pro is a $100 and depending on the program the price
goes up.
 Besides all I need is an Opponent that plays well enough that
I can pracice with. Chess Master 5000 does nicely. By the way
I got a response back from Expert Software, when I asked them
about obtaining an upgrade eg a web sight or ftp sight they said
that I had to buy the new version thats around $10 but it comes
out slightly more for me cause of the exchange rate here in Canada.
Im not going to bother to go through the hassle.

Its no longer a battle of the mind and the witt its a battle about whos
got the latest hardware and the latest CHess assistant or Knight Stalker
to kick your ass.
Do you think Databases should be banned in CC?! The oxy moron is what

 7. g5 - f6     7. f6 x e4
Whoops:-) My move number 7 puts my bishop on f6 and takes your knight
on f6. I don't think you can use my bishop on f6 to take the pawn on
e4.
Very true.
Kind regards,

assistant: Yeah.
Well.... If you are playing computer vs. computer, then I think it's all
fair.
If you are playing human vs. computer, well, I think there should be
some limits as to what can be allowed.  A limit on the size of the
opening book, and a limit of end game databases.
People have to make do with a limited range of opening moves, and deal
with it.  I think computers should to, just to be fair.
With endgames, it's much much worse because there are quite a few
databases already around that can tell whether a position is won or
solved.  I think, all 5 peice end games have been solved, along with a
good selection of 6+ pieces?  I think a chess program should be required
to play by 'knowledge' instead.  Although, the catch is, that much of
that database could already be condensed down into heuristic rules that
could be applied.  You wouldn't get the 'mate in 30' type of respose
from the table look up, but the heuristic would know that's the right
move to make.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Doug,
        Thanks for continuing to serve us all these delicious files!
        I have just completed entering all Canada's Grandmaster Daniel "Abe"
Yanofsky's games from his original scoresheets! (What a mess the games
already in the world's DataBases are! I believe that 20% of the games going
around are garbage because some people wanted to exchange "new games" and
deliberately added or subtracted a half move ont  existing games, causing
DataBases to consider them as new!!) If I want to send them to Pittsburgh,
can I add a bunch of text explaining what people should do to clean out their
DB's?
        I can't find the IECC/IECG files you refer to. Where are the CB files
of games that are supposed to be there? Do you have the direct addresses I
can go to to get these files??
