I really wish I could come, and I just would have made it had Ruffian been taking part. But, as it is, I am home writing a book on proverbs and metaphors, trying to find universals in some Indo-European languages. Although I am on my Sabbatical, I have classes with post-graduate students every Friday and Saturday. I am sure that I would enjoy playing chess with you(no computer assistance, I promise!), but I think that Quark would be a more interesting opponent. Why? Because HE is the essence of you, plus a bit of silicon... As for my hobby, besides the book I mentioned, I am also working on a book for Ruffian and also testing our home made program, Axon, which has finally managed to score over 290/300 on WAC at 5 seconds per move :-) About Graz: Per-Ola said that he too would like to be in Graz, but he moved to Stockholm about three weeks ago, got a new job there and it is virtually impossible for him to travel now. He just started working there... He was without an Internet connection for a while too. Besides, a new, multiprocessor version of Ruffian is currently being tested. I think that I will give it a try on our University quad machine one day... Wish you a nice tourney! And, I am sure that Quark will give a _hard_ time to many favourites and even make some of them feel a little bitter. So will Hossa :-) Please convey my warm regards to Steffen Jakob. Best regards, Djordje
