Not play Fritz (Rebel, Tiger...) but play the game? After all, life itself can be viewed as a game (the larger picture, eh?) that we all lose after a certain number of moves. Seriously, the only complaint that I have with Bosboom is that he should have stated in advance that he would not play Fritz... That way, he, v.d. Sterren and others (refusniks) would have prevented Fritz from playing. This way he spoiled the fun. :)) Djordje PS: Thanks for discussing this with me. Thanking you, I am thanking Mogens who agrees with you 101%, which is scary when I think of it :)
