Keep on the work, Thorsten thinking in me :-) >Fernando hi fernando. thanks for your nice comments. ed has a company with some workers and he has to live from selling his rebel to the world. so he has to make anything professional. Chris has a company with many people too, but he does not live from computerchess. Computerchess is his hobby. He does not live from selling versions. Maybe you understand that if somebody is not seeing computerchess as business but as his hobby, that he behaves different. I like chris, i like ed. But both have different ways working. and different things organising their life. for me a friend is a friend. i don't care if he is green or yellow or red. i join the friendship when we can give both and exchange it. the best thing is a community to discuss things. to enjoy things. i can enjoy many programs play. junior. mchess. hiarcs. and we can all replay the games. and have fun. the same is chris. we don't see it as business. and we would enjoy all others to do so.
