Not the fear to lose but the fear of being a candidate to accusations of cheating and accusations have been happened in CCT1. Sorry but this my main obstacle. Furthermore I don't want to put myself into the temptation to cheat, it is so easy to force a move, take back a move, change the level to your needs. It is crazy to think such things will not happen, that is not real. Whole sports are posioned with forbidden drugs to perform better, why should 40-50 chess programmers be any diferent? In correspondence chess the official rule is not to involve chess programs and what has happened? The rules suck, period. Last, I have no time. Loek van Wely is on the menu and Gandalf 5 is going to play 4 correspondence games against 4 x IM's. I need all my time for those 2 new events. Ed
