I have a third option: FANTASTIC idea !

But you should ask them if they are aware of the fact that we play 9 games in
two days. If they would like any other setup, ask them what they propose - we
could do that at another weekend additionally.
They should also know that most of us programmers are doing it as a hobby, so it
might be not possible to have a longer event of a week or several weekends. (But
I would spent A LOT spare time to play longer games against some titled
players... :)

Another thing which was discussed quite often, but did never happen: what about
a programmers-tourney. Would be a lot of fun I bet. ;) Vincent of course must
play without his queen... :)))

Greets, Thomas
