:-))) i could not have written it any better.

I want to remind fernando on the fact that david levy's dedicated chess
computers where maybe not the strongest, but had very early very comfortable
and intelligent features.

The intelligent chess system had commentaries by GM pfleger on a normal tape,
and TV-OUTPUT. mark V had resign, draw offer, emulated opening thinking and
played simultaneously. also it was a modular system. it played selective.
the later sphinx had what-if-feature and were completely killed by richards
programs, BUT they were not stupid at all.

I see david levy as a pioneer in his field. he was maybe not that succesful
winning computerchess championships, but he initiated many many good things
for computerchess.

and in this case, he shows IMO a good humor and is right too.
