Hi:
One of the most vivid chessic images I recall is a chilean FM playing in my home
one of the first M-Chess versions I ever had, one in a 5,1/4 disk. First, his
face of arrogant superiority; then, his expression of increasing concern; last,
his sad grinning as M-Chess kicked his ass. Yes, it was the very first serious,
strong software program available; only after a while came genius 1 and all the
rest. No doubt: M-Chess made history, Marty is a genius as a chess programmer -I
do not know if he is also in other fields, but probably he is- and anything he
can muster in the next years or months he can count with my automatic, instant
purchase. The only thing I never liked of his programs was his DOS condition and
some problems to run it at once if you haver became used to Windows. But,
looking at that with a greater perspective, that is nothing...
