i could give Mr. "nevertheless" Jaap van den Herik the telephone number of my
mum too :-))

Also he could get the phone number of my grand-mum.

you never know ! if you will need it one time to get the asnwer:

"He is out!"

Maybe we should organise a
big list of telephone numbers of Mums and Grandmums of all computerchess people
in the scene. This way they would have a bigger database for later sucspicion
and better conspiracy :-))

I can even consider a special task force ICGA !

Helicopter lands on the street in front of the programmers house.
Jaap, David and Ernst run out of the helicopter, in dark clothes,
they rang the bell : Mum appears !

"Oh - my son is not there. He is out !"
Mum is completely nervous. Talks to herself: "Ja was machen wir denn da ?"
And comes with the solution: "Soll ich ein paar Schnittchen machen ?"

Than cut.
We see a living room and a couch, coffe and canapees on the table.
Ernst, David and Jaap sitting on Mum's couch.
Mums cat on Ernsts knees, mum's Parrot on Jaaps head, and
mum's cocker beneath Davids feet. On the television we see another serial
of "Bonanza", Grandma comes into the living room and tells new stories about
WW2.

Than the bell rings again !

Will the special ICGA task force solve the problem this episode ?
Or will they have to stay the whole weekend into mums house until grandma
has told them even MORE astonishing stories out of WW1 ?

Will the programmer enter the door or is it the Letterman, maybe with a very
very serious letter ?

Doin't miss next years episode of:

ICGA world computer chess championships !
