Unfortunately it isn't just a question of commitment, but also
of motivation.  Playing in an OTB tournament where you meet
the opponents face to face and can go out and have a few beers
together at the end of the day is great fun, but marathon on-line
events are just so depressing.

I have thought about it today, and more or less decided that I
don't want to play, or at least not to operate my program myself.
Finding an operator could perhaps be an option.  I would probably
be able to drop in and have a look at the games occasionally, but
I would be absent most of the time.  The obvious disadvantage is
that it would make the tournament less attractive for the other
participants.  It isn't fun to play a long game against a program
not operated by the author.

If somebody has a fast dual or quad (a quad is no better than a
dual, because my search still only supports two threads) and would
like to operate Glaurung, please contact me, and I will consider it.
If someone has any viewpoints for or against non-author operators,
please post them here.
