There is nothing wrong with wanting a different feature set than someone else.

Maybe someone will make a Don Rickles chess engine that says things like:
"What kind of move is that, you stupid hockey puck!?"

I won't buy that one, because I already berate myself when I lose.

Or maybe we can make one with a soft, beautiful woman's voice that says,
"Ooh!  I love it when a big, strong man makes a powerful move like that!"
no matter how crappy our move was.  But I think I would probably prefer the
truth.

I have some comedy ideas for a chess interface, but I doubt if I will ever put
them into action.
