Maybe I was too curt? Nevertheless, I'm certain I read SMK had a master rating
around 2250 in 2002. Maybe ChessBase erred, maybe I did? The important thing is
SMK knows something about chess, outside of computer chess. This is what I was
explaining to Rolf, but he never listens to anyone, or so it seems.

Why everyone has to make a bigger issue out of this then need be, is something I
don't understand, as my point is now lost.

 Fritz
