Mr Ren Wu, It is good that you are a patriotic Chinese man. I am a patriotic American. We both love computer chess. When countries are at odds with one another it is not necessary for the the opposite country to understand the others languages and customs, but it helps. There are many fine things in China. There are many bad things in America. The reverse is also true. Many fine intellectuals including Sun Tzu and Confucius hail from China. Were it not for China we might not have spaghetti or fireworks or paper. Maybe we wouldn't even have chess. The Australians are afraid of the Chinese. It seems that what happened with Japan during WWII is going on with the Chinese at the present. Chinese expansionism just refers to a tendency of all empires including China to maximize their assets. The same can be seen in most social species including ants and monkeys and canines. The purpose of the response to Mr. Cummings was to tell him that the United States of America is not incompetent. Cummings was making an inference that we were not very capable if we could not decide on who would be the next president. A better word for us would be--"competitive". That is why we are having such a hard time picking a candidate. Any person that plays chess has to be a competitive person. There is no room in chess for people who have their feelings hurt easily. The same is true in computer chess. Tim Frohlick , Capt. ret. USAF BTW I have served with a few men in the USAF who were born in China and rose to command positions. I liked most of them. They served well. On November 18, 2000 at 12:43:37, Ren Wu wrote: >Is this whole thing have anything to do with this club?
