I _know_ that you don't believe it, it's just that you hinted that others _do_. >>Thanks for the advice, Prof. Hyatt.

Not a problem :) By my meagre mathematical calculations and a little experimenting, I reckon that should give me the extra 700 ELO-ish needed to be in with a chance of a win :) If anyone wishes to donate me said supercomputer then feel free to email me on the above address. Cheers, Colin P.S. Never underestimate beginner programs - no matter how bad they are now :)
