Go up one level in this thread


I have 2 simple suggestions:

1) Automate the reporting of the results somewhat, and make sure someone
who has time is able to update the result webpages, add proper PGN and such.

2) Add some kind of Java applet that shows the in-progress games
in a platform independent manner. This should be easy to do and possibly
software for it is already available as many human tournaments function in
this manner. (This is IMHO preferable over ICC/FICS because those do need
extra firewall openings whereas Java can work over WWW HTTP)

Basically the organization of the tournament looks excellent, but the
reporting on the net could use some small improvement.

I realize the people not being able to use playchess are a minority but
I feel such an event should try to cater to the computer chess enthousiasts
as much as possible since they quite obviously have the greatest interest in
it.

And they're also the most vocal bunch ;-)
