potrebbe qualcuno darmi un aiutone ?
Vorrei caricare un programma freeware per giocare, ma non so da
dove cominciare ...
Sono andato su vari siti, ho visto liste lunghissime, ma meno interessanti
di quella di Ivo ;-), e non ho potuto fare niente perche il mio cervello mi
diceva: "E ora, quale ti scarichi ?"
Chi puo' darmi qualche spiegazione  (magari al mio indirizzo privato per non
annoiare gli altri che queste cose le sapranno a memoria) ?
Per esempio: se carico uno dei programmi indicati da Ivo, basta per giocare
o serve qualcos'altro ?
I database, sono le biblioteche che servono a fare funzionare il programma
di gioco ? Sono pesantissimi?
E cosa posso provare per primo, diciamo che non sia troppo avido di memoria
e, se possibile, abbia una buona biblioteca di aperture, funzioni di
programmazione simpatiche, ecc.
Insomma, darmi una mano per farmi fare i primi passi, poi cerchero' di
arrangiarmi da solo ...
Ho Windows 98, 32 bits.
Scusate se chiedo troppo ...
E, soprattutto, scusate il mio italiano !
Il buon Giuseppe
dal lontano Perche

 Ho Windows 98, 32 bits.
AH AH AH ...


Come al solito, il miglior metodo per imparare a nuotare e'...
buttarsi nell'acqua!!! (Stai tranquillo... in questo caso non
affogherai di certo!)
Ciao
Ivo


Intervieni assai di rado, ma in compenso, quando lo fai ... sei commovente !
Fabio Massimo

La mia richiesta di informazioni sui programmi per giocare a scacchi
č almeno servita a far ridere Zizoů e a commuovere Fabio Massimo.
Il perchč, ancora non lo so.
Quanto alle informazioni, cerchero' di ottenerle su una lista piů
adatta, probabilmente it.hobby.cucina o it.cultura.filosofia ...
Suvvia, vi voglio bene lo stesso.
Il buon Giuseppe


Ma ti sei letto il mio secondo post, quello del 18/2?
Credo che piu' esaurienti di cosi' non si poteva essere!
Ciao
Ivo

č almeno servita a far ridere Zizoů e a commuovere Fabio Massimo.
Attenzione alla gerarchia dei post !
Il mio (eufemistico) senso di "commozione" si riferiva a Zizoů, non a te .
Sugli Scacchi in genere, e sul relativo software in particolare, sarň sempre
lieto, come cerco sempre di essere, di darti una mano ... certo, non č
facile essere piů pronti ed esaurienti del grande Ivo .
Amichevolmente,
Fabio Massimo
