               Dmitri,
                      I start by saying that I do not wish to offend.

                      Now having said this,where do you get your satisfaction
                      from a chess game knowing that your opponent was beaten
                      because you had the strongest chess computer?
                      In other words you did not defeat him in battle.
                      Your computer did! Where is the satifaction in that?

                      I ask a very simple question ;is it not better to defeat
                      your opponent or lose to him because it was you and your
                      efforts and not your silicon buddy?

                      I admit I am now old fashioned with old fashion values.
                      It seems these are thing of the past.

                      My old fossil remains can be dug up in Montréal.
