I APOLOGIZE EVERYONE!! Well I was also being a bit "tongue in cheek" as I thought Chess4U might have their own version of events. >I don't see >how the existence of computer accounts detracts from your enjoyment of the >server.

I don't object to computers, just I think if someone is going to use Hiarcs, Fritz, Rebel or any other commercial program I'd like to know which one he's using. If Hyatt is using his latest beta version I'd like to know that as well. If I want to play a 2600 player for example and did not know I was playing, for example Fritz 5, I would feel like I wasted my time as I already have that program at home. By the way, do you see a problem with several people using the same program? And as you say later, the ratings system is affected especially when the same account uses different software. regards, Michael
