But unfortunately the chess knowledge was not yet sufficient for a real Wch. This is not the moment to be sad. If you take all the time Mr. Hyatt had to work for the Deep Blue team here on the net, then you will probably be more careful with your smileys. For me Bob did a grat job in relation to near zero time spent on the machine. That's the same as if you wanted to fight a real match against me. Me the pro and you ---- :) But for the rest I agree with you. If you watch these sites carefully for the next days you will see, correction, you will NOT see many of those who wrote a lot of messages in the weeks before. In sciento this is called tolerance of frustration, a spooky thing which does influence all of us from time to time. Greetings R. Tueschen
