Hi Don,

You are most hospitable! If I had somewhere to stay, and only had to find the
air fare to come, it might just be possible for me, depending on the dates
involved. I have never been to a computer chess tournament before, nor have I
ever visited America before, so it would be quite an adventure I think. My
program would probably not be terribly successful against the more poweful
programs, but might do quite well against medium strength programs. It runs
under Windows95, but it needs a machine with 64MB RAM (it actually only uses
44MB, but Windows uses a fair bit too!). But I guess MIT must have plenty of
computers!

Best Wishes,

Roberto
