Ofcourse I want to believe you.
But i must see evidence on my System and not on somebody elses system.

But seeing the games it played against Ruffian and some against Chessmaster
realy disapointed me
Ofcourse when I get the evidence I will change my vieuw and also will put a
positive revieuw wich I  can't do for now.
So ok I admit my curent revieuw might be made to early.
But the reason where my first conclusions and most of all disapointment.
