hi Brian..!<BR>
<BR>
Good to say "hi" to you last night. <BR>
<BR>
I find it interesting (and a little bit encouraging) that you still write your moves down, preferring not to use a Monroi like more and more of the masses are doing. I would think that with as many games as you report in your chesslist, you'd be opting for any/all tech assistance you might be able to get. At least for those of your own anyway! <BR>
<BR>
BTW...I scored 2.5 tonight (albeit it was against like rated vict*...er...players), and I actually won some cash. Does this make me a "professional"? *S*<BR>
<BR>
For what it's worth, this was the last game I played...<BR>

<BR>Fritz 11...all that I use...found holes galore in much of this, but fortunately 80-90% were my opponent's misjudgements. In fact, this might be one of the first of my games I put in that Fritz liked my play more times than not. <BR>
<BR>
*Hey, I'll take my perks any way they might come.*<BR>
<BR>
I'm pulling myself back up from the bottom...slowly...slowly...<BR>

Cheers,<BR>
