I came to BrainKing to play variations of the usual board games such as checkers, and chess because of the rampant use of programs. After learning about zillions from this DB I saw at the said site that there are programs for nearly all of the games that are played here. "BUMMER" I saw a plug-in for gothic evolution chess but not the version here. I personally think that having a Gothic Chess program available would only mean that from now on we would be playing against it and not against each other. I have been playing games on the internet for over 6 years and have seen the resulting program wars escalate almost exponentially. I was thinking of upgrading and getting in the GC tournament but with the advent of a program entering into the equation it would only end up being a battle of cpu power and not brain power. If you are tallying votes count me as a nay at least until the end of the championship. There's my $0.02.
