Also, I mean at equal timing, and without taking back moves, let alone being aided. I'd still like to hear if others disagree whith me. Anti-computer understanding can help alot, but it's not enough. Anyway, isn't it a shame to always try to outsmart a computer through anti-computer "tactics"? Is that all computer programs were made for? Still, their holes are getting smaller and closing up, aren't they? S.Taylor
