As all network programing has "burned out" the sex, injury, death, drama crap and the people are tired of it all. The Nelson Ratings prove it with all the crap thats on now. As for chess I agree. I think we will see the turning of the tide going toward Computer Chess... When this occurs I for one will be done purchasing chess programs and will keep my current ones. I hope for the sake of computer chess the HUMAN will win and the excitement of new and improve programs will remain.
