I lose all, but I don't have patience for longer games. Since you asked for that the reply was honest, I go to confess to you that games against humans consume me very, and it seems that this consuming must to the fact that I don't like to lose. Perhaps Freud explains my problem. What more gives pleasure to me with the programs, is to test positions and to analyse GM's games. For that I have more patience. Regards, Paulo Soares, from Brazil
