Will do, thanks. It's a pity that hardware is such a big factor. Only *very* few can maintain a high rating with a 2-4 hardware disadvantage. I know 2: Fritz has a FICS rating of over 2400 with a Celeron 466. Even more amazing is WChess that has a 2350 FICS rating (Blitz and Standard) on a P2-200! Has WChess ever been on SSDF? Ciao! Bas.
