If you can beat Fritz 8 on a Pentium 4 at 40/2, 20/1, SD/30 you can safely quit playing competitive chess and start playing for leisure and enjoyment. Strangely though I never beat Hiarcs 8 or ChessTiger 15 but for a while they couldn't beat me either; so I stopped playing competitive chess and started playing for sake of the game not really keeping score. My philosophy might come off as being a lifer but it easy on the high spirits that we chessplayers bring to an OTB chess tournament. Anderson an original grandmaster of chess in the 1800's played for artistic purposes maybe if we all took up his creative banner. Some of the Black defenses in the openings look like artistry -- Caro-Kann, Petroff's, French, and others. This is why I enjoy playing chess -- for the beauty of the game as well as the sporting part too. Oh well not to talk you people on this bulletin board to death -- sign-off: Frank Nelson, your chess-fellow
