I thought this was very interesting, particularly the guy who was doing the presenting:

I don't know about all this.  Tarek is a friend of mine and is a brilliant guy, but on the other hand most of us have no trouble whipping coach Sim AI. 

Davis, are you going to do your tourney contest this year?

i.e. seble before seble was seble.


Also, good to see what he's doing post WIS.

Hadn't given it much thought, really - I guess I'll see if I feel like it when the brackets come out.

For those who may not know, Tarek Kamil designed, developed, and founded WIS. He was also the lead programmer for HD before and shortly after the company was sold to Fox. He interacted frequently with users in the forums and in person at WISfan gatherings in various cities all over the country during his ownership era. Fox kept him onboard for awhile after they took over then unceremoniously dumped him. He is still liked and respected by many users, although in fairness, some users feel WIS in general and HD in particular is better since his departure.
