Those are good links for those of us who like history. They also explain why I could not find As-Suli in the Oxford Encyclopedia of Chess Games, which records every game of modern western chess to 1800 AD - - plus important games to 1866. I should have realized that he was a shatranj master, and that modern chess did not evolve until the Renaissance. It's a pity, though. I was hoping to analyze some of his games with Fritz ;-] Mark
