On your last step, there is much to discuss ( very, very! ;) ), but it is not my intention to enter into barren polemics. They are not useful for anyone. In any case I respect your position, it's coherent.

Best wishes,

thanks for the fancy English!

polemics aside, my question:
are you ...

My mother tried to teach me to be polite to people, but occasionally I slip, as I did here (calling Derek an asshole).
Rolf replied with more drivel, which I chose to ignore.


you did nothing wrong...IMHO, and were right on target

the 'modus operandi' over there is for the right-wing 'good ...

Using RobboLito 0.1 as the name when you are not the author of RobboLito is intentionally misleading.
So I'm going to support Tarantula.

I think calling it Tarantula is also (even more?) misleading...

I will modify the Chess Engine List as you suggest. I hope to make the changes tomorrow.
Question: Do Ippolit and Igorrit belong on my 'Dead Engine List'? (If no further work will be done to those codebases, then they meet my definition as 'dead'.)
Thank you for the information!

Who decides on these names anyway? Besides Houdini all of them sound funny, cheesy or generic.

(I have to give credit to Houdart for that, Houdini is a really nice name for a chess engine, it's imposing, you'd want to have something like that)


To the contrary, RobboLito is a unique name and ...
