Bad chess player, I was nevertheless those who have requested electronic chess game for Christmas, thinking that this machine was m help to progress. I quickly abandoned the beast, finding that my attraction for the game diminished if my virtual opponent did not like, at their fair values, jokes with laughter which j'émaillais part ;-))
