Hi Jouni,

yes, my activities came to an end in 2022. What I’ve been doing over the past two years was just a little experiment. I’ll turn 60 in January 2027. I have a lot of interesting hobbies and will now be focusing more on them. However, I did buy a few more chess computers. I’ll certainly play with them every now and then or organize small tournaments.

After so many years of computer chess, I’m really done with any online activities now. I think I’ve done enough—generated millions of page views back in the Winboard days, the Arena days, and so on. Enough is enough!

But I certainly wish everyone here, without exception, lots of fun with this exceptionally interesting hobby.

Best
Frank
