     Yeah, but that isn't totally fair. The computer would know where the pieces
are just as well without the diagrams. Tell you what: to balance things out,
include a button with the word "guess" in it. On occasion when it's my turn and
the computer wants to know my move, I'll hit the button.
     <grumble> ...Blank board that only it can 'see'. Fine then, a move that
only I can see. That's fair. <more grumbling>
     By the way, do you remember that great scream by Charlie Brown when he
misses that football held by Lucy? That terrible "Aaauuuuggghh!!!..." Well, have
the program scream that when I hit the button. It may not have much practical
value, but oh the joy to be able to make the computer scream in frustration at
will. :-))
