Today what we have is a lot of specs about how we use chess software and so programmers walks blindly in his designing work. My guess is that an overdosis of database has been provided on the supposition that most of us are real pros that are trying to improve his game instead ob being -well, at leat it is my case- poeple trying to get fun and so inclined to what other calls, despectively, "frills". I have never in my life taken a look to the databases of rebel or CM5000 or whatever. How many more? A poll like your could be useful to answer that point. Fernando
