Hi all,
thanks a lot for your compliments . I really take delight in reading all your commentaries and opinions, getting some feedback to my humble stories.
@ Dan:
To give some peronality to an engine is an interesting aspect for me, too. It makes me somehow reminiscent of my long ago youth: When I was watching sports-events, I always tended to choose one part as my favourite,even if I had no really prefered one in this fight, transmuting to its fan for just that event, to give me more thrilling and identification during the fight.
Seeing my son watching the games of my tournaments (actually he really likes to watch them, although I must admit, he kicks me off the computer after some time *g*), I can see a similar effect: some names fire his fancy and therefore these engines are our favourites then.
Moreover I can notice for myself, too,that I watch games with engines of my stories with increased advertence, as if I were some (fairy) godmother for them
.
So beside all ?serious chess thoughts? - give your fancy full scope in creating personalities for every engine in your mind but ? please ? never forget: the characters in the stories are arisen from my fantasy and not at all any form of valuation from my side.
@Heinz:
Once more many thanks for inspiring me again and again. I see with pleasure, that the fantasy of everyone here is pretty fine, although I admit, some of our crackpot ideas might be too hair-rising *g*. But matching with my personality, I take some analogy of the chaos theory here: ?The wing beat of a butterfly can cause a hurricane!?
@Roger:
As there is the danger, that my chess-analyses could be considered as fairy-tales, too, it might be better I restrict to fairy-stories further on
.
Just one more....the ample experience of an old woman tells me, these, who call themselves ?serious one? are the wildest ones
.
Hey presto!
Uschi
