And, to add a third, Virtual Chess 2 for £5 at amazon.co.uk! (Presumably to
clear the way for Virtual Chess 3, due in January 2003, which is already listed
for preorder at £23). Now that is a _real_ bargain as VC2 was an impressive, and
unfairly overlooked, package.

In fact, amazon is offering VC2 and Fritz Championship Chess for £12 the pair;
now that I have a (Windows) laptop I may well buy them next time I'm ordering a
few books ...
