Hi Russell, in my youth i started with electronics as hobby - second-chance education after scool. Few semenster communication engineering in the 70ties - first experience with Basic and Fortran on a DEC PDP-11. Later apprenticeship as radio/tv and communication engineer - 8080 assembly. First self constructed and build 8085-computer with 64K Ram and two 8" floppies - CP/M and ISISII - Turbo Pascal and first C-experience. In 85 studying computer science (Dipl. Inf. FH). 8086/8089 debugging with ICE and Logic Analyzer, Hardware or Software Bug? Making some money in a german software house - portable GUI libs in C (Dos, windows, OS/2, X-based) til 90. Took a few years off (once in a lifetime) - holidays, traveling, reading Levy's Computer Chess Compendum - with the outcome to write a chess program. Engine in 386 assembler - DOS MDI-GUI with Borelands C++. IsiChess was able to play simultaniously with up to ten boards and suddenly got professional after first tournament, AEGON 94. First year quite well but times got harder. Since 97 i'm software developer employee in a german company again - mostly C++ and Java - until today. More or less interesting stuff, most often more than 40 hours a week - but as a computer chess junkie... Cheers, Gerd
