Well, if you do it for fun as I do it. It is great! I have not earned any money
from computer chess. I dont need that. I just do it for fun too.

However, if you participated in a Tournament, you would enjoy winning. The
excuses "I was not going to participate but I was requested to do it or I
participated but I did not plan to win" are just weird.

What I do is to ignore the messages of Mr. Blass. However, the edge of my
patience is over with all the nonsense said. Of course, I can live without
reading this Forum. Nevertheless, this week was a bit different.

regards, Arturo.

Best wishes for you, your spanish and your engine Bruja. (y)
