If Fritz had a Pentium 166Mhz, I am sure Pascal should not have switched to a P6 200Mhz. My point is that at this tournament, AMD provides enough computer for all participants. There is no more special hardware computer (e.g. Mephisto, Saitek, ...), everybody comes with a standard PC program (not even a Mac one) We can all run on the same computer and so, test the program not the (hardware, program). You can not say : "I do it because others do!" because others will do it because you do it. BTW, beware on Sunday 2:00 am it will be Sunday 1:00am (we switch in France to Winter time) Bon voyage à tous et que le meilleur gagne ! Jean-Christophe Weill
