I am working on it.  :)  I just upgraded to redhat 8.0 and have not got the
mozilla
fonts set right yet.

To me it is certainly logical.  To some, the computers are simply super-GM
players.
I won't name names, they can step up if they want.  But computers have a _long_
way
to go before they become 2700+ as many are claiming.  A 2700+ player simply
won't
get squeezed to death with no chance to win, as is happening in the match so
far...
