Can anyone explain why chessbase is selling now every year a new Fritz version, without improving any essential features?
I mean, who cares about the elo increase…
I really don’t understand…
I am very happy with Gata Kamsky’s results in Blitz tournament and hope he does well in the CUP.
Sorry to hear Kasparov was beaten and detained for demonstrating against Putin.
I will have to pay a visit to Carlsbad caverns.
Any news on Bobby Fischer?
I hope you had a great Turkey Day. I am glad I didn’t gain any weight. So far this year I have lost 63 pounds! Still have a long way to go but I may be below 300 by year’s end.
