Subject: New feature, that could make programs more 'Human' and us more MAD!!

I am playing on the Internet Chess Club.  After losing many games that I am
winning, my opponent often says, 'Good Game' or 'Thanks'.

Sometimes when I am in a totally winning position, my Idiot opponent will offer
a Draw - What's that all about?  Some of my opponent call me names, even the 4
letter kind, and I didn't even say anything to them, to deserve that...

When I'm losing, I'll often call them names (though, I don't (usually), type
this into the keyboard!), and curse and hit the table in frustration.
(fortanately, I haven't broken anything yet).

After each blitz game, my rating is revised either up or down, and it depends
entirely on the rating of my opponents, how much.

These are items that are not in the Fritz program, and its talk CD, but they
could be.

It would be a feature that could be very attractive in a chess program, but then
again...
