Very strange! I remember that Mchess I never bought and tryed through one of my friend. When I found that it simply not include special feature that permit to ask for mate in given number of moves, it was useless for me. Later I bought, only for mate solutions one, "new game" that was Wchess. Description about the author was found in it manual. Maybe with arrival of the next millennium I became mixup. What will happened to me after 2000!? Leonid.
