You sit there making manual moves for hours, two games a day, for a thousand years. You get sick. You miss lunch and dinner. There is nothing more annoying that going to a place that has great food and ending up living on bar peanuts. The games can be sped up by a factor of two without much appreciable "quality" loss, and we'd have time for more rounds and/or better food. bruce
