I should point out to you also because I may have not been clear, I am not Booted from Chess4You...Hiarcs 7 got Booted, in there words, because hiarcs7 is to strong for this server. You can log onto my account right now and see I am not banned, just playing this strong program Hiarcs7 is Banned. Account name DoomsDayMachine, Password eywa I am still on there, just banned from playing Hiarcs7, if I play Hiarcs7 or I guess play other programs that are too strong, I will have more games resigned when I try to play. As you guess I will not test programs under that kind of condititons. And will not play on this site again. I can not trust them.
