Subject: Faster Hardware vs Average Player

When I started playing chess on the PC I had a 386.  I had Grandmaster and
Chessmaster.  I could play competitively, but usually lost.  My next computer
will probably be faster than a Pentium II 400.  At 1 second per move, the 400
will be equivalent to about 3 min per move on the 386.  That doesnt give me much
of chance, especially if I want to play speed games.

I humbly request that future chess programs allow time controls <1 sec per move
so average players like me can have the satisfaction of kicking their butts once
in a while.  Sure, I can win by playing against weak modes, but its not as fun.
