Jimmy you obviously have plenty of time to find fault in how these two individuals set up matches with there programs but your time might be better spent if you thank them for all they have done in the computer chess field and the assistance they have given other programmers through the years. Sorry Bob and Bruce I know you don't need anyone to come to your defense but this post just got a bit further under my skin then usual.
