How do >the rest of you *enjoy* your computer programs? Care to share so that I'll be >wiser before buying the next top program that is coming out? I'm a terible unobservant player. Any program playing at full strength at any time controls can beat me. I can only beat very weak programs. Don't worry about loosing. Don't keep track. I go through periods of time where I seldom play against a program. If I have a new program that I'm interested in, then I play more often. But play Chess against people, not just programs. And switch the programs you use as often as posible. If you have an overriding favorite program, then you probably don't switch programs often enough. And with great things like Winboard, there's no excuse for always using the same program. Pete
