I think, this is just, what the forus is here for.
Today CM 6.000 - tomorrow Genius 6; that's all great to me !
I'm happy with anything, related to chess......it avoids threads like " the weak

Open a thread, which you'd like to be discussed - and voila - gonna see - the
thing starts to " live " , as well.....
