Will rush to try at once. I have the impression that I already see where my trouble started. It was right in my way of thinking. Before I expected that I must call this program and later explain what I want from her. Reality is quit different. I must start talking to this program in the same moment that I call her to come to me. Cheers, Leonid. >1B4k1/4pp2/p5pp/1r5P/2n3q1/2P2Q2/P1P3P1/2KR3R b - - bm Qg5+; id "GMG1.089";
