  Actually wheter this "DOctor" is legitimate or not I found his described
concepts quite intriguing......  Indeed to find a particular weakness of a
program is just NOT thaat hard to do..... Many programs are loathe to close a
position......... this is well known.  The "doctors" concept of pusing pawn
agaisnt the programs king under a circumstance of a blocked (if not closed)
center may indeed be correct - but I have not tested them......  Alex.
