This is right! On the other hand not easy to give a comment if a keyboard is in the near :-) >I get fun to make the openings book and I am satisfied if the people like them, >but then immediately I start thinking how to make them better...maybe I am a >little too crazy...I guess I am crazy about chess and chess programs since a >long time...anybody has a medicine for this? No Sandro! One time computer chess, computer chess for ever! You have the same problem as others and this is your problem to solved it. You make it with your Shredder book, I have fun on the compatibility we have today (my main interest, try to power it with Arena and I am happy that I found Martin to do it). I am so far a happy computer chess player and have no more wishes. All what I need for do my hobby I have, OK I am searching an older Chess Computer modul (RISC 1 by Ed) :-)) Medicine: A girlfriend with understandings is important! The best medicine for me :-) My girlfriend hold the cup in Leiden, we won with Ruffian. Lisa sent the cup with a tablet of my favorite chocolate to Per-Ola :-) We need more ladys in computer chess fora and the most of the discuss have an other niveau. A lot of things we do with Arena are ideas from Lisa and the ideas are good. The secret lady of Arena developement :-) Believe me a good medicine! And she has Italien luck and temparament :-)) In the time we tested Ruffian without ponder vs. Shredder 7.04 Lisa give the comment ... Frank give up, Ruffian is in the near but Shredder is a tic better! I say Lisa wait, tomorrow in the morning you can see Ruffian is in front. She go looking in the night and say to me, Frank today we drive an the town and make us a good day before you go to your PC :-)) Best Frank >Ciao >Sandro
