Subject: A question for the group...

Hi there. I have a question to ask the group. Do you think it is better to play
chess against a computer, or against another human player? I've been playing
chess for about 15 years, against both computers and other humans. I'm not too
good at chess, but I still enjoy it very, very much. I bought my first chess
computer at a Radio Shack store back in 1989, and have been hooked on computer
chess ever since. Lately, I've been playing online chess, and sometimes I, for
one, think it's better to play against a computer, because most people nowadays
have very little---if any---time to waste playing chess with one another. Also
some people can get to be "sore losers" when it comes to chess. Computers, on
the other hand, are always ready for a game anytime you want to play, and never
"get mad" at you when they lose! What's your opinion? DO computers make better
"chess buddies" than humans? I'd LOVE to know what you HONESTLY think on this
issue.

Thanks! :-)
