These days it is hard for me to get motivated to play chess well --getting old so the motivation to win isn't there as much as it used to be --I mean what's the point even if I win--big deal-- I beat top programs before.........my rating usually hvers at 1900 but actully when on my game its about 2350 in blitz as evidenced by achieving that rating on more than one server. I get REALLY sick of people (and programmers) that want to blame "Nefarious" causes when they loose......... SHEEEEEEEEESSSHHHHHHHHHHHH ! take it like a man will ya!? Alex
