Dear Admiral of the fleet,

Thanx for this philosophical introduction to set theory ;)
My original collector's target was to get about 10 chesscomputers ranging in strength from 1500 to 2100, so I could use my own machines to compete in user tournaments of several elo-ranges.
Unfortunately (according to my wife) this got totally out of hand, having more then 60 right now...
Can you give me advice about this addiction?

Kind regards,
Your humble servant.

Hi Fern,

My wife wants to know if your serbian guards can be hired?
She just read Steve's post...

Ducking away regards,
Paul

Tell her my Serbian guards can be hired, but only to kill intrusive wives with respect chess collections.

I have nothing against female liberation after they wash my sockets regards

My guards are ready for a job with you. They ask just 15 kbucks to invite your wife to a stroll.
For 30 Kbucks perhaps they accept your wife command to invite you.
To do the job with Steven the price is much higher.
They guy is protected by pensioned ex haganah clerks

Your call regards
Fern

No Fernando,

My wife is worth her weight in gold, but only when she stays alive!
I will tell her they will pay Steve a visit, and that will satisfy her enough.
Although unwilling, she lets me have my hobby ;)

And Steve, one of your nice machines is of course more then welcome in my modest collection :P

If not tried, then never gained regards,
Paul

:wink: That’s showing her who wears the pants, Steve!

I’d even venture as far as to demand that we receive a full 5% allowance increase for chess related expenses from our paychecks that we turn over each week.
