Hi Tim:
Well, maybe you have a point, although I doubt that Ed thought in environmental
issues when he decided to put the Cd, naked and trembling, between the pages of
the booklet. Anyway, as you, I got it working at once. My first game was with
blacks and Gambit, with whites, chose the King Gambit openning. Time: 40 moves
in 90 minutes, my favourite setting. Well, as I said he chose the perfect
opening for him in real and simbolic senses an although I fought hard and I
deployed the full panoply of my famous tactical resourcesfulness, putting him to
think very long many times, -he has expended 2/3 of his time in less that 15
moves- anyway he went crushing me bit by bit, so from -.50 in the first 15 moves
or so I went to -1.23 and then to -4.00 and then to -10.22 and then I died.
Yeah, it was an acrid, acid, hard end. But I got enormous fun.  It is a pleasure
to lose a very hard fought battle.
BTW, my speciality is red wine. Probably a pool a year. Children's pool.
Fernando
