Dear Mark and Jason, In the good old days back in 1956 when we had dirt roads in Vancouver and you could hear the 9 O'Clock gun from our home on Monmouth Ave. it was fun to walk on the sea walls at Stanley Park and look down into the waters and see all the multicoloured corals and seaweeds. Ah--the unspoiled virgin Vancouver. I remember Harry's Fish and Chips--Harry was a salty ex-sailor in her Majesty's Royal Navy. I also remember triple-decker rainbow ice-cream cones for 15 cents. It was a nice place but it rained too much. By the way computer chess is not as much fun as human-human chess but the GM contests are quite exiting.
