To tell you the truth, I'm not much of a GM an not much of a computer whiz either. This hobby started when I got clobbered time and time again on Fics, I felt kind of duped, humiliated and thought a chess proggy would help me out. The first one I came across on the net was Gnuchess, Gnuchess needs Winboard, in Winboard you can also run Crafty, Crafty can also run in Fritz, in Fritz you can also run Junior but Shredder is the champ or maybe Tiger is better and you can also build your own opening book and import all games of Dr.Hyatt's Enormous and all games of the Dann Corbitt site. Long story short, I spent about $ 600 on software not counting the electricity , not counting hogging my dad's hardware and even with my home-built opening book I'm still losing almost _every_ time on all the chess servers I checked out. What is wrong here ? What do I need to do to win on the chess servers ? Our ancient hardware (400 Mhz /32 Mb base memory) ? Our operation system (Windows 2000) ? Our slow Internet connetion (My dad's LAN) ? Maybe a commercial dial-in connenction like Blue Light will yield better results ? Wacky Willow
