I enjoy all of the reviews here.  They help me to decide which programs etc. to
buy or not.  I must disagree with one comment on the Item 11.  You recommend
that programs should resign when they detect a negative mate(Mate of computer).
I really would not like to see that function.  I had an  old dedicated computer
(Fidelity I think) that once resigned on me in the face of a "Mate in 2".  Of
course I hadn't seen it.  I spent almost a half hour trying to find it and never
did.  I had to let the computer show me where it was.  Imagine today's computers
quiting on a "Mate in 13".
