I think I thought deep enough, Sandro. In fact I went further than the issue about professional Vs mass public products you have examined. BOTH kind of proframs are equally stronger than any of us, right? So the deeper point, Sandro, is why to buy them, why to be hostage of this desire that conduce to no place. What you call a professional program is probable different stuff for karpov or Kramnnik. For us it means a thing. I mean people, real people playing the programs, not people playing program vs programs. And so my point comes to the fore: if we, real perople, does not need more professional or mass market products, we in fact we could need a kind of real teacher program capable to enhance our playing skills, not just a coach saying you blundered or just showing the best line or putting a mess of intrincated variations in a dialog. All that is sometimes silly and sometimes boring to death. But as much programmers only see the two oposite poles, the "professional" chess player and the "mass market" one, the one you say only push the pieces, but not the intermediate, decently strong but not enough strong player, then we will have once and again the very same "Even More Pro X" and "Even more marketish program Y". I just got bored of all that. My bes Fernando
