>Steve, 2100 or so strenght means nothing. 2100 Elo means very much to a human that is not a chess professional you are not a chess player by profession you are a journalist you do not spend every waking moment playing chess.. i think the fact you are 2100 Elo just from pure ability and not from day to day studying the game is more of an acheivment then a 2400 hundred player that lives and breathes chess i always held this opinion particularly when it came to Dr. Max Euwe many people will say he was the weakest of all champions and if Alekhine was not drunk he would never have become World Champion in 1935 i am not so certain about this Euwe was a teacher by profession and did not and could not devote his entire life,day in and day out to chess as Alekhine did as far as the pc programs beating you i say to this... pffft it means nothing to me i do not expect a human to defeat a sports car in a foot race even Kasparov can no longer beat the silicon PC monster in a match, so he is reduced to offering draws in won positions in my very poor opinion PC programs are not playing chess as we in humankind know and love the game they are playing something very different..i do not know the name,but is not chess what they play su amigo Steve(Estaban) Every top-notch program beats me >nicely. I can hold my game against dedicated units, yes, that's probably the man >reason I love them so much, but Fritz or Chessmaster or Majestic blow me in >pieces. Only from time to time I get a draw.

If I get that, I >consider myself almost a victor. >When playing Par excellence or any of the others, the goal is to win, of course. >But this does no means I always win. No,no, half andf half would be a more >accurate statistics. >Yes, next time I go to New York I will let yu know and we will meet. Course you >will take me to your home or whatever you have your collection to see it and >touch it. Let the restaurant part to me... >Endings? >That is my second worst aspect of the game.
