Yes, you are lucky indeed. Powerchess98 may not be even close to top programs we
have today, but I find it very good for my chess:

1. Its AI is great. King adapts fast and keeps its strength as promissed - just
a bit stronger than me.
2. It almost forces one to play slower and with more attention.
3. I missed that voice of Queen :-)
