Nobody's asking you not to post. We're asking you to use an
appropriate medium. Usenet is for public discussion, not for
communication between two or three people, which should be done by
E-mail. And I'm clearly not the only person who thinks this.

This board is about chess and that is what Sanny and I are playing,
chess ....


This group is for *discussing* chess. If you want to play a game, do
it by E-mail and then post the whole game here for discussion once
it's finished.

You two should check out our game it has been interesting ...You can
see the weakness in the end games both engines have .....


It's obvious that a computer that only does a shallow search won't
play well in the endgame. Twenty years ago, this sort of thing was
interesting because one could think about how computers might play
better in the endgame. Nowadays, we already know this. (Yes, we can
still ask what strong computers get wrong in the endgame and how to
improve them but a game between two weak computers isn't going to help
that.)
