Something stinks I thought. if you lose 10 games in 10 moves, then it's hardly because the others were playing so well - rather because you made big mistakes. if you make such big mistakes to lose a game in 10 moves against a computer, then you will also lose games against any good chess player in 10 moves. while you certainly are right that everybody is using computers these days in postal chess, you should work on your own game rather than complaining about it! aloha martin
