    Last line in the uncyclopedia entry is funny:
    "It is highly illegal to use an engine for assistance playing chess or inputting moves faster than humanly possible. It is also utterly undetectable, and thus practiced by about 98% of players."

    That's their banner. 'Nuf said. Not worth giving them the time of day.

    I'm just saying that responsible reporting must offer the bad with the good.

    Not doing so is called bias.

    I've nothing against smiles. I only meant that uncyclopedia is not the appropriate model of unbiased and objective reporting. Russ didn't ask for a parody of RHP.

    I'd reckon it would be appropriate to include links to other chess web sites' wikipedia pages (if they have them) and state that they offer comparable facilities for chess play and related interaction or learning.

    Even those of us involved in the controversial bits of RHP, no longer care about things said, or done in the past. Majority of us you can almost hold a conversation with now. 😉
