la fayette by posting me i your reply i assume you are trying to goad me. i thought we were done . as a old hippie i am still mad at myself for letting you get under my skin by saying you could beat me then refusing to play. i should not have said what i said im sure there are some brave french. beating the commputer is a forgone conclusion but beating a human is hard. this is why i play humans i want a chance to lose that way i feel a sense of accomplishment when i win. if you ever want to take a chance and play a human would still like to play you you can set board to whatever size and level you are most comfortable playing
