On the picture we have Bartel and behind him Krasenkow to the left, and Socko to the right. All of them are Polish.
Thank you for your weekly commentary of 2 October 2006.
I think this was a measured and reasonable comment, and congratulate you on it.

Nice site, but ..
1) Your blog page is very long. It might be better to break it into multiple pages. I tried downloading it on my HP iPAQ (PDA) and it simply exhauses all the memory (there was about 20 Mb free before I attempt to download the page). Even on my main computer, the page takes ages to download on a 1 Mb/s connection.
2) Can you make your commments available as a *PGN* file – not some silly Chessbase format. With Chessbase’s poor record on supporting their products, I’m not going to buy their products. I used scid instead.
