There is no attack in it. I do only claim that ICCA seems to be develop into an organisation that is not for the programmers but against them. But let me tell the following: Marty has lost money due to a criminal german computerchess distrimbutor called Martin stamer and his company Eurochess. He sold Mchess in Europe/germany exclusively. For this reason Marty has to work, and computerchess is not anymore his JOB . He has to finance his life-existing using working into a non-computerchess-area. A second thing that happened is, that Peter Schreiner who normally operates Mchess has broken his FUSSGELENK / foot-joint (sorry, I don't know the english word for it, it is the part that connects leg with foot. Both things seem to be the reason that a) mchess overstepped subscribe-date b) is not anymore able to subscribe as professional cause marty has no money. ICCA can now decide: a) not accept Marty's request for participating in Paris b) help him to participate as semi-prof like others have been accepted. To benefit computerchess and as a service to a ICCA member who has brought much to computerchess and ICCA (Marty is a paying member and a champ) , it should be possible to organize a way that Marty is IN . In fact that is what I would expect a computerchess organisation to do, that claims to be FOR the programmers. These seem to be the facts. Peter Schreiner (pitters@aol.com) has more data about it, i don't know why he remains silent, I thought he is a member of this club/here ?!
