Chessbase is notoriously sketchy and there is a lawsuit against them for blatantly stealing GPL code.

- lacker 5y agoThe Chessbase article is a lot more readable than the arxiv paper. Yeah, they did some bad GPL stuff, but that just isn't really relevant to this particular discussion, and the chessbase link is better for the general reader.
- throwaway6977 5y agoPersonally, I'd rather not support dishonest, but pretty outlets over direct sources.
- quaintdev 5y agoSomebody screwed up somewhere, so entire organization must suffer for all eternity?
- kadoban 5y agoHow big and disparate of an organization is some random chess website?
- zamadatix 5y ago~30 full time employees. ChessBase isn't just some random person's hobby blog site it's a pretty big deal in the world of chess.
- throwaway6977 5y agoNo? But if I have the opportunity to exercise my preference- I will feel good about doing so, and suggest others do the same.

- aaron695 5y ago> Why link to Chessbase instead of to the arxiv paper directly? Because their article is easier to read, your link isn't even directly to the paper. And unlike the fake news media who gate-keeps information to ensure their monopoly and to stop you Gell-Mann Amnesia them, Chessbase has included a direct link to the PDF and the abstract at the bottom of their article. That's awesome. Bike-shedding GPL violations over quality and honest articles doesn't interest lots of people. They can read about the OT stuff in proper HN discussions on it.
