And if I'm not mistaken Bruce works for one of the richest i.e. Bill Gates.
It's always puzzled me why Microsoft doesn't have decent chess app.  Apparently
Bill Gates is quite good at chess (although prefers Bridge) and I would have
thought that he / Microsoft would want a decent chess app.  This is pure
speculation based upon nothing more than Bruce's employer but maybe Bruce is
hoping that Ferret could be Microsoft Chess v 1.0!

BTW has anyone notices that Microsoft has launched a Classic Board Games
Collection, written by Oxford Softworks i.e. Chris Whittington aka CS Tal - nice
one Chris!
