Hi again :-) If you meant "prophecies", then I am not impressed by them. I would've somehow think that you'd be able to detect my sophisticated irony. Which you didn't. As for the game you quoted, I read all your comments, and agree fully with them. I also tried to contribute a little to the comments in http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?475442 where I attempted to explain why Ikarus had succumbed to the imbalanced play by Rybka. Thanks for coming back. I think that most people here appreciate your presence. Djordje
