These are two different things. I try to keep emotions separated from what is meant to be said.

Mostly because we like programming and chess. I do not expect to earn more from programming a chess program than for solving a 5000 pieces jig-saw puzzle. I even pay for it as I keep my hardware up to date, subscribe to ICC and also took ADSL to connect to it. All just for chess. Does that make me a fool? Richard
