Hello Mr. Taylor, I find it very hard to reply to your message in a friendly and hopefully not unhelpfull way, but I will try. Genesis 2 is cetainly not rubbish, but a very fine chess program! In fact, the usage and installation of so called "amateur" programs has due to the effort of many people become much easier. So easy in fact, that you just need to sit down a couple of hours to study the general workings of microsoft windows (learn for example how to delete downloaded files), and a whole new world of computerchess is open to you. This should be especially easy to you, because as a young person to grasp how computers work does not take long. When I first got into contact with computers, all I had was a C64 with an English manual. A couple of days later I was writing simple (and silly) programs ... and I am certainly no genius by any means.
