Hi Steve,

just send me this computer and I'll post all my games :-))

As for the Hungarian players: I live in a small town (pop. 9000)
and even we have a FIDE Master here (Albert Fekete, cca. 2300 ELO).

I can beat chess programs now and then, even top rated ones, but
I have serious problems against Albert. You can guess why: he knows
all my weaknesses in every phase of the game.

A chess program knows nothing about me. It plays the the same chess
against a GM, me and a 6 year old child.

Quite a nonsense in my opinion.

So programmers should pay more attention to the learning functions:
I wish an engine which adjusts the opening lines, playing style etc.
to it's opponent.

Best
Mihaly
