Sarah, Unfortunate. Although you and I have disagreed in the past, I have never considered you a quitter, especially over something as minor as my previous comment. It is also too bad that you think that men (in general I assume) consider either chess or computer chess to be a male only club. With people, there are biased ones and unbiased ones. It is unfortunate that you ran into the biased ones. I personally hope that Karin will become a good chess player some day. That way, I will have an activity in common with her. I also hope that if she does take up chess, that she can practice against the program that I am writing. It's unfortunate when people bring things such as gender bias into a place like this. In this case, I do not believe that Fernando's real intent was to be sexist, but rather to discuss the possibility that the sisters were really the same person (although he touched on gender with the assumption that it was one of the male troublemakers of the past). It's obvious that whatever occurred this week at excite chess has really influenced you and not for the better. I think that everyone has something to contribute. It would be nice if you continued to do so. Please take my advice. Take a deep breath, ignore this thread, and continue to enjoy this forum as I do. KarinsDad :)
