New people show up, some older ones leave (program doesn't stay competitive). I think Bruce shouldn't release until he's happy with it. That might be never, who knows? Ferret does manage to play some of the more interesting, dramatic games. It seems that it is either rolling someone or getting rolled. I think of it as a "high-risk, high-reward" type of program, though of course bald-faced luck probably has as much to do with it as anything. >What's going to happen with the Siemens Nixdorf Giants and Kasp not playing if >Fritz plays?
