Martin,if I may,I don't supose You've ever been the "TOP DOG" on a Chess site
and all of a sudden ,Your getting Your Program's Butt waxxed by another even
stronger/faster Program? Sixth different times for Me. That's enought to make
One spend 5 Grand Friend. Furthermore, every time I have to purchase new
Hardware in order to "KEEP AHEAD OF THE JONES",It get more and more costly. But
if You want to be the Boss,You have to pay the cost Friend. Tell It like It is.
