You play chess? I would love to play you a game. Haven't played in a while, but I would be up for it.

Check out ItsYourTurn.com - Play online games: chess, checkers, backgammon, Battleship, Othello, Connect4, and more! FREE turn-based multiplayer Internet board games for an excellent (and can be free) on-line chess site. One it's great strengths is that you don't need to both be on-line at the same time.

(You can find me as 'Mr Jack' on there)

Hmm... your challenge doesn't seem to have come through, so I've challenged you instead.

Do you honestly think that if we built buildings without structural analyses, that they wouldn't be collapsing all over the place?

People built perfectly servicable buildings for hundreds, nay thousands, of years without any structual analysis. Our buildings wouldn't be collapsing all over the place, they'd just be built using the same repeated principles that have worked before rather than advancing all the time.
