I did not say this. I don't know what you read and if you dream so much.
I said that I think we can win the match not that we are stronger.
Are you able to understand my (bad) english?

Me too.

No, again you are interpretating my words the way you want. I said I think a
have a way to do better. Can I believe this?

When I started to make openings book and you were a child, I though I could make
an openings book which could win the World title (between programs).

Well, I won it 3 times!

What did you win?

Never did.

You are telling me that I am a layer more or less, but what did I say which is
not correct that you can prove?

Nothing.

You can have your own opinions on anybody, but cannot offend people.

WHO ARE YOU?
WHO ARE YOU?

Speak for yourself Pls.
I will not go down to your level to comment this...

Did I say this?
This is what you understood. Wrong as everything.

???????????????

I want to apology for the people reading this post. This is not my style and I
am really suffering to write this way.
Chess and computer chess has been my hobby for many years and to read these
things is really depressing.
