- First off let me say that I always enjoy Mr Hyatt's posts on computer
- chess. His insights are always very interesting. Secondly I have two
- questions:
- - Could you post the above mentioned summary, I am sure there would be
- quite a bit of interest in it.
- - A few weeks ago you mentioned Sparc Blitz (I think thats what you
- called it). Could you comment on it's strength?
