Hi Lex,

My advice is to make a checkbox:
  "if unmarked chess partner will automatically
   removed after it loses a game, as i'm a poor loser"

Now i'm not saying tiger, chess partner or anyone here is a poor loser.

If that option would exist, you would be AMAZED about the number
of complaints you get that chesspartner has 'dissappeared' from their
computer.

People are stupid. They click always OK.
I don't people for that. I blame programmers for having defaults which
IMHO are unfair and completely contradictarory to what Ed complained
about in the past.
