Your holidays have been long enough. ;-)) I don't know. I sold my autoplaying machines when months ago I got fed up with the miserable fights of the CC world. But winter is coming... :) I might buy a new pair of machines (which ones?) when the new versions of programs become available, and then start a new tournament with all the "top" commercials plus Crafty, like last year. Also at 60/60, I guess. At the moment I am reading all the Albert Cohen books ( they are great, by the way) and doing some research about the development of anti-Semitism in European history (a horror story of stupidity and meanness, that so often go together; how can one wonder about 17.c5!? when all this is still going on), and I won't drop this for a tournament. Anyway, we'll see. Enrique
