Hi Fernando: I'm planning to write at least 1 review in the very near future. I must confess, I've been procrastinating totally, but I would really like to see the Computer Chess Reports survive, (and thrive). So I will endeaver to submit something within the next 7 days. (Probably my thoughts on Chess System Tall II). One suggestion; Please put an emial link button somewhere on this page that is clearly marked as "Submission to ICC Computer Chess Reports", so that anyone submitting will know that their article is headed to the perminate site. Another more radical idea: Offer a 10% additional discount on purchase of ICD chess for articles submitted. Of course, only 1 discount for each article submitted! mrslug - the inkompetent chess software addict!
