John you took a shot at me about the award: "Chill out and take care of your unfinished business with the so called award you allegedly received in Canada." Would you not be proud of this type of an award? I _certainly_ am. It is not like they put my name in a hat and said " You know Peter has been a good fellow this year.. let's get the Govenor General to give him some type of award.." I saved people's lives to get it. It was no "fluke". I have a story that I can tell my grandchildren about, and be proud to tell it when asked how I got the award. Take all the shots you like, and I am sure you will. About Bernardo's comments of the Dutch Open. You just don't get nor does he the amount of time the author and the book author spent on Tiger to prepare for the Dutch Open. Jerome spent 3 months preparing the book for the tournament. Obviously the hard work paid off. To say all the "other" participants it the tournament were "2nd line" engines was wrong to do. The amount of work it takes to make a chess program and have it perform like The King ( ChessMaster ), Diep among others did at the tournament is tough. If you can not see the man is just trying to troll, then I am wasting my time with you.
