Hi Fernando: Amen to that - It looks like my girlfriend Holly (who still lives in Seattle), has dumped me for sure. She hasn't answered or returned my phone calls in 3 weeks. No explanation, no nothing. So I am ready to eat even more, and buy more chess software & books, than ever before. Anything and everything to dull the pain. So now I have to find a new girlfriend, if/when I ever get over the depression of losing the one I had. By the way, when you say "Not that I have not met a match for me", are you talking about a girl or about a chess program, or both:) Larry - the broken hearted chess addict!
