Thanks for the reply. My rating about 16 years ago was around 1750. I played in
3 tournaments in Cleveland Ohio. The last tournament I won my division with
3.5/5.0.  My goal is to become a better player and maybe even help and for sure
learn more about computer side of this great game of chess. This board sure
looks like a great and exciting start to this goal.
