hi robin.

thank you for your kind response. you have taken alot of time answering me. and
as a corrrespondence champ, you sure know more about this than i do.

you leave one question begging...>>I am interested in both, and more.<<

tell me about the 'more'... I mean what component of the analytical process is
overlooked in my paradigm? I want to understand what I can do better and where
it might lead me.

btw
i just started fooling around with a demo of Fortuna's new CHessANalysis Tool
(CHANT). It seems pretty powerful  but I think it should more rightfully be
called a chess engine programmer's analisand database.

the best to you. -marc
