Even if you posted it, you might get maybe up to 10 people who would reply. We need gerneral interest articles and reviews of programs and related computer chess book or services. yours would only get interest from programmers, and chess programers at that. I would say that maybe, I might be wrong that people who write or tinkle in chess program would be under 10% on here. We need articles to get interest of more than at least 60% of people on here. Who knows that is just my hu8mble opinion.
