Shame I couldn't make it - new member of the family arrived in March, and spare
time is non-existant these days. Mind, Kai is doing a *sterling* job, conjuring
up 2 wins out of three for Francesca.

Congratulations on Lambchop's performance, esp. in round 1!! Of course, Eugen is
a good program, too, so now you have 2 good wins.

Make sure you enjoy the German pubs, good beer, company etc.

I know the Mchess result, and of course I'm happy as larry. What happened then,
was it a real blunder/bug, or a horizon thing?

[good games, snippety snipped]

Cheers and regards to all at WCCC99,
