Particularly since I have >"zero percent chance of winning"... > >:) I am sorry to state this, but theorically you have chances and pratically you do not. Unless your hardware would be at least 10 times faster than Shredder, Junior and Fritz. In this case you would have some chances even if not many. I know many will not like this, including yourself, but this is what I believe and I am not afraid of saying what I think, like it or not. I am not willing to explain why, so people can criticize as much as they want, but I will not change my mind. To win CCT or another tournament is something else as these are not considered of the same importance by the commercial programs. Sandro
