It was a Mephisto Exclusive Polgar (I've always loved to play this program - because it is not prohibitively strong with the tactics, it seems more humanlike). Thanks a million to Ed Schroeder on that one, I feel I've definitely got my money out of it. I'd started reading CCR in 1988 or 1989 and caught the bug. I bought a few more here and there but in the last few years I've picked up several thanks to Ebay. Now I have a bit of a collection and maybe I'll post some pictures to the web soon. Renaissancing Regards, :) Chuck
