Fischer is a vile S.O.B. and the whole Chess World knows it! He might survive in CTF with you guys, but not CCC. The truth is no one is above the rules, but it would have to be serious before a big name in chess or chess programming were considered for a ban. Fischer is another story....if he started speaking here like he did in the interviews and wasn't stopped....Steve would lose business, people would leave in droves. Terry
