After my uncle beg me for 30 minutes, I decided to Pleased him, since he is like
my father to me. I brought my Notebook Gateway Celeron 500 Mhz to the hospital
and showed him move after move. By the way I am using his password to this
Message Board. I believe it is a great place to learn about computer chess.
He also asked me to run CMking as black vs Crafty 17.12 and crafty resigned
after 18 moves. His is told me to tell his Chess friends that the surgery was a
sucess according to his doctor.
