Adrien, this point should become a central topic here in CCC. I am always surprised how badly the computerchess experts in special write about chessplayers. Psychologically very interesting because they hate the weaker sides of humans while they are humans themselves. They don't realise that they do as if they wanted to be machines themselves. Unconsciously... What would they lose if they would accept that machines by definition could never be compared with humans and in special genial chessplayers. The experts here seem to be unaware of the genius alone that you must have born with if you want to remember all the opening details and principles in chess. Chess is very concrete and therefore you must know thousands of such principles and tricks. I would also like to lead your attention to a difficult question. That of the personality of human beings. I would be very careful in calling someone off-center, if you mean _more_ than just a statistical fact. It's a difficult decision whether someone is off-center or just on the right spot of truth, but at first sight it looks strange. BTW that's the reason why I write about me being surprised by the many short-cut declarations you can read here in CCC. Could you explain that atmosphere? Hans
