                  ERIQ,
                       Yes very true.I agree with you.
                       That's why I play chess against GM 9k.It matches my
                       level just great in a style that to me seems normal.

                       I have recently purchased Excalibur Grandmaster
                       It lacks many features modern dedicate machines
                       have but it has a tournament size board and plays
                       chess at an amature level. It's just great!

                       Play chess for ever...........Alain
