Sorry Fernando. Shhhh.... Calm down..... Here, why don't you sit back and have a
cup of coffee and think of rainbows or something. Even if it wasn't any better,
it could be worse: Lang could sell out to Mattel, and we could see the market
flooded with Barbie Genius programs coming out. You would choose Barbie's
dresses and make-up while getting your queenside torn to pieces. Don't worry
though, I'm sure it's much better. For example, I'm sure it plays 1.e4 with
great style! This doesn't mean it plays the openings involving 1.e4 with great
style, it just means that it plays that first move in great style. A drumroll
starts in the background, and trumpets come out of the loudspeaker, as you see
the pawn in front of the king begin to tremble. Very impressive indeed from what
I hear. :-)
