Dear Mr. and Mrs. Oellermann,
Nice place in Oxford. I shall consider downloading your program sometime soon.
By the way, high testosterone is associated with a few bad things like prostate
disease and cancer and an early death due to overly aggressive behavior. Make
sure that you give your chess program lots of knowledge so that it will know
when to resign and when to claim a draw.
