Hi Heiko: The way I face the overwheelming superiority of any top program over me is this: I do not begin the game with the fool idea I could win, but just saying to me "this bastard must work hard to beat me today". If I reach move 40 with a decent position I feel almost as I won the game, and if the bastard is coerced to play an ending with very deep technicalities to win, then I feel almost happy. Fernando
