I can understand that it may give points but for me this job seem boring and improving the engine is more interesting. I think that I may decide to learn from tord and not to participate in tournaments(at least not in the near future) It is also possible that I will leave computer chess No promise that I will have time for it. People say that is simply not useful and there is nor much money in it. The fact that SMK was able to reply my email in the same day very fast(nothing against him and it is of course very nice by him) tell me that he probably has not many customers. Uri
