James,

Forgive me, but this is very odd.  What does speaking English have to do with
computer chess?  It's a bit like having a tournament between programs beginning
with the letters A-M vs N-Z, or between those whose programmers have light hair
vs dark.

I'm always interested in results between programs of this type, and thanks for
running these and reporting them.  But, let's pick something more appropriate
next time, like hmmm. the age of the programmer?  That I'd like to see!
(Actually, maybe not).

Will

ps, those EU guys speak English pretty well, anyway :)
