Anyway it was obvious point grubbing, there was no >interesting chess going on, so I +noplay'ed him. Yuco is an 11 year old kid. He gets very excited and does odd things. If he bugs you, talking with him won't work very well. He was playing dozens of bullet games with my program, I wanted to see other sorts of games, so I asked him to stop, he begged me to let him do one more, so I said "yes" and left, and when I came back in an hour he was still going at it, and claimed to be "addicted". He's now going cold-turkey with regard to me. If you censor him, you will get harrassed by someone called "BACALO58" eventually. He also has "LAMASTUS", so watch out. bruce
