THANK GAWD u told ME!!  I almost bought it!  I too loved the M- player server
--it was cozy if not full of masters !
DEEP SIGH! Why buy the program? Just for graphics(?) -- ALMOST a good enuff

ROOM if we hve only one CPU!  I love supporting chess programs - especilly those
that compete with chessbase--but--COME ON!!! give us a
SERVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Nuff said!  Alex.
