I got a glass set from walchina a couple years ago. Not to high a price and a nice set.

Best,

You have to give him marks for creativity!

Sounds like the fellow was creative in describing himself.

There is the age old discussion about what hardware should be allowed in tournaments. I have been told by one of the organisers of the Leiden tournament that 99.98% of people do not care what hardware is used. This is not a poll about should any hardware be allowed but about if when reporting the e...

Well, we're all curious to see your settings and results no doubt. However between having an engine that's no longer under development (Zappa) squeezed to get an extra 80 ELO (which is very impressive, don't get me wrong), and your previous claim of Rybka's current reign ending, there's still quite...

So far only 7 entries in the main tournament Hiarcs Diep and Ktulu the top players. I hope the list will grow. It seems that although Rybka and Sjeng do not enter there is a proposed Cluster match Sjeng v Rybka - personally I do not see the point and see this as an attempt to undermine the main tou...

Hans van der Zijden(Rybka operator) will fly into London from Amsterdam and join me on the flight to Bilbao. We will then hire a car and drive to our Hotel in Pamplona. Also in the same Hotel will be Richa...

Man, you have not given us the most important info: what brand of Cabernet it was? Thirsty regards Fern It was from a very small Boutique Winery in the Galilee called 'Chigara' It was excellent. The bottle said the head winemaker was from Italy. What about the pictures you take there for members of...

Thanks Christopher, Interesting poll. Best to you, Gerold. Thanks Gerold. :) It seems to be quite popular. Of course its not as popular as some other polls we have had. You know something Gerold?
