Then there's the timeconsuming hassle over hardware or software restrictions to make things "fair". I find it hard to believe that anyone is capable of making uniform rules for fair computer participation, which would be a requirement for playing in rated tournaments and a reliable rating assessment. Thankfully, this will also prevent the "bribing" of tournament organisers with additional prize money. >Feel free to ignore me. No such luck :o), since I agree with you. Sincerely, Mogens
