i thank you that you are impressed mogens. I know Steen and Dan for
a while, we met on some tournaments and i had the pleasure to talk
with them about knowledge in chess programs. Steen always worked
on this field, and we all had to learn that gandalf is a unique
program that can kill especially the famous tops (remember 1993 munich:
"My name is Suurballe, Steen Suurballe !" and and and).

My "intention span" :-))) as you call it is indeed limited. Yes.
In the moment limited to a few programs. Computerchess is not my
only hobby, as you maybe know.

If you would have read my post, you wrote an asnwer to,
you would have seen that i added Gandalf into the list of knowledge
programs. Please correct me if Gandalf isn't planning while playing
and correct me when you have observed that Gandalf is a bean-counter.
Then my observation from the games would be wrong, indeed.

May it be that your reading capacities are somehow limited ?
From time to time, when they come out with a new product,
i do try to buy the programs. It is not my job to inform you about
a product that comes from your mother country, isn't it ?!
maybe you oversaw my posts about gandalf.

>If you're just fond of knowledgeable programs, why not say so?

I am sure you must have overseen some publications of mine.
There you can see that although we have internet, people still can
be very misinformed about whats going on. What a pity.

I don't see what you mean ? Context ? I attacked Gandalf ?
Is it possible for you to speak in a sensible way, with sentences
i can , with my limited capacities in opposite to your infinite, follow ?

Of course i know Gandalf for a long time. And i was always a Gandalf fan.
Was this a mistake ?! May i have to give back my disks, cd's and handbooks??

Sorry when i stepped on some of your intimite "rights" concerning Gandalf.
I will in future not again step into denish terretory, as i have seen
it is a difficult terrain for foreigners... they still have some of those
vikings.
