Hi Reinhard,

When will you finish your idea? I'm impatient to play my variant on SMIRF. Also,
when you sell SMIRF, i'll instantly buy it, I want to play my variaton :-)

And I accept your idea of SMIRF being commercial, I would do that too, working
on chess variants algorithms and making them work is not an easy task and is
time consuming, don't let the other persons intimidate you, continue on your
great and unique project!

Best Regards,

Juan Pablo Naar
