Hello Fernando:

I'm afraid Tim's reply says it all. I do play at 40/2 and so far have 2 draws
against Hiarcs 7.32 with no wins or losses. I have a game going with a very good
chance for a win. However, would anyone really care to see my draws or a victory
- I don't think so. (:

If my name was Kasparov, Karpov or Anand - yes!

I don't mind though. It's between Hiarcs and me, and Hiarcs knows the truth -
only problem is Hiarcs can't tell anyone how good I am. :-)

Regards,
Mel
