I'm sorry that I can't agree with you here, Fernando. I kind of liked Michael
doing a review and we wouldn't want to discourage him? I don't know much about
ChessMaster and it is always nice to see that people can be enthusiastic and
want to share that with others. At least our own opinions are an offset to the
mediahype we sometimes have to read. So by ways of feedback:"I would like to see
more posts like Michael's ChessMaster for the Playstation review. Thanks".
