Hello Ed,

Don't worry;) For the last 3-5 years the best programs have been able to beat,
well, shall we say around +90% of the worlds chessplayer. The very same, which
are Your prime customers.
When the day arrive where it becomes 100% (the IM/GMs, etc. included)then You
and others have even more customers!
I.e. the fact that I always can find a program (and a human) which is able to
beat me, doesn't keep me away from the board. In contrary actual!
And the possibility to get postanalysis at GM-strenth of my own games is very
attractive. Perhaps even I can grasp something...

Best regards,
kim
