yeah, I still like it. As a _spectator_ of the sport, not being an elite grandmaster to spot the ideas and patterns _immediately_, I love having it. Tell me that something is going on/has gone wrong. Baiscally like a warning clock... then _having_ an elite chess player interpret it and verbalize it for me? WONDERFUL!

But to _analyze_ games, find out what happened or e.g., help a friend admire a play or improve his/her play, human touch > precise/exact computer move
