Yesterday, in my friday meeting with my pals, something happened that made my original idea of creating a database with "best freak games against computers" take another further step. One of my friends, an electrical engineur so mad about chess computers like us, told me that his friend, GM Ivan Morovic, had engaged him to colaborate updating a book that, at his turn, was delivered by Karpov to Morovic to do so. Gonzalo, my friend, will take care of computerish part of he book. Then I thought: with enough games of "best freaks games against computers" I can write something like the complement of the book written by Robert Pawlawk; in fact, something like the human side of this, the history of how we became engaged with this passion, which the phases were, what we felt each time a new generation of programs arouse, etc, etc. It is a lively history a in it then the gamesw could be like ilustrations of that history as much surely I can collect games from every kind of programs and dates and circunstances. And then I thought that I can get the colaboration of GM Morovic -it is also a friend of mine, although somewhat hurt because the episode with ferret- and of IM Rodrigo Vásquez, a very strong player, probable the second best in Chile and one of the 5 top in America Latina. They could comment what they deem the very best games. It is an exciting task I would love to perform but that requires your colab. Not only the games anotated, but your own feelings about how this passion took a part of your lives, how you engaged into it and so on. And of course I will need sooner or later the colab. of somebody as editor cause my english is not the very best as you know very well. Can you tell me who of you are prepared to send me all that stuff? Fernando
