Thanks a lot to the people who were serious and gave credit to >my work. Also thanks to the people that argued with me in a humorous and >constructive way. At least I enjoyed that. I imagine if you spend 5000 hours on something, you can become sensitive about it. We need 2 inch thick skin to interface with others on the internet. I have been called a racist and a liar and all sorts of other things (all absurd of course). Of course, in my case, I often deserve a fair measure of the criticism that I do receive because I can be harsh myself. "What goes around comes around." I think probably you did not change opening approach from opponent to opponent. However, I think it is a very, very good idea to do it. I plan to enter thousands and thousands of games into a database. When I play against any opponent, I will look up the opening that the opponent (human or compter) does the most poorly at and attempt to play that opening. It is only common sense to do so. At any rate, I suspect you will be back. We're all moths to the computer chess flame. If you do manage to escape, write us a note once a year so we can find out what it's like "on the other side."
