Some of you may remember this message from my "amusing e-mails" post:

I like the chess problem. Such as how to kill a black king
until to 3 ways? What the chessmaster 8000 can to do about
the problem?, Because  i have The chessmaster 5500 can't do
it, can do it but 4 ways or 5 ways not 3 ways.Thank's

My question was "does anybody know what this guy is asking"? Some interesting
theories were put forth, but it seemed obvious to me that this person was using
a translator program. Well, as it turns out, he responded to me in his native
language, Indonesian!

-------------
Saya dari negara Indonesia (Jakarta), maaf saya kurang bisa menulis dalam bahasa
english.  Saya punya masalah tentang bagaimana menentukkan langkah yang paling
sedikit untuk mematikan raja, jika saya misalnya problem seperti ini : bahwa
dianalisa posisi raja hitam akan mati dalam tiga langkah ke depan dimana posisi
putih melangkah terlebih dulu. Tapi setelah saya masukkan ke software
chessmaster 5500, dia menganalisa mati dalam lima langkah. Bagaimana pendapat
anda apakah ada software yang bisa menyelesaikan masalah saya.
-------------

The first sentence, I can guess at. I'm pretty sure it is "I'm from Indonesia,
and I do not know English". So, if any of you know (or know anybody who knows)
Indonesian, could you please translate this for me? Feel free to reply via
personal e-mail to jmerlino@ubisoft.com....

Sounds (reads) like a beautiful language, no?

Many thanks in advance,

jm
