Of course Mr Mike >will have edges on me but i'll be a close second to him giving him a challenge. >Mike I hope you understand nobody there is going to be able to beat you... may >have to move onto playchess.com since nobody there will give you challenges! I thought that might be You ,that I have always been butting Heads with on Pogo. I wasn't sure until now. SMALL WORLD ISN'T IS? Mr. Monic,I doult if I will have an edge on You when You bring that dual 248 Opteron on line against Me. 248 -vs- 246 hummm. One thing I do know, every bit of Hardware that I've purchased to get back to the top of the Heap,is only a "shooting star" for a very short time. Then It fades away. This Opteron Box is My 6th P/C in 7 Years. The point here being :I find playing against other Programs on line a alot of fun. Pitting what I have against What's out there. This has served as a very good barameter or gauge to monitor when its time to purchase a new stronger/faster piece of Hardware or up-grade Your Software. And Friend I do play on PlayChess .com at times. MAY THE ARMS RACE CONTINUE. Well Friend ,have a good Day and a better one Tomorrow. I have to go to work now to pay for the Dam Thing.>>>>Mike
