Dear Burcham
Get a faster PC with alot of memory ram and mtz, then get windows 2000
professional..
Second step go look up what are the top five chess programs on SCF.
Third step get to the point of your problem by playing with your program ag. a
second computer if you have one..
this way will help add games to your chess program datebase which in turn will
make it play better than online users...
Plus can see up hand what are your program weakness and strenght....
I hope I give you a better understand of your problem....
If you have anymore problems just post some more questions and I'll be happy to
get back with you as soon as possible..
Also Burcham I see you been to yahoo and chess.net well those are
good sites to play chess but, however I know a web site where you can bulit
up your datebase and meet some of the same guys that talk here...
The website name is www.pogo.com check it out.. for yourself
See you soon..
Mike
