I havent said something about this topic so far, too. So here are my 2 Schillings. In general I would love to participate, although I am not very optimistic if I have a look at the latest green list (Will, it seems as if the weekend is a good time to introduce serious bugs; this time i ruined my null move code :-). I am on vacation at the beginning of January and therefore it would be good for me if the tournament would start at least after jan-10-2000. I vote for 90 10 time controls (actually I vote for as long as possible time controls). I would allow only original programs to participate. They should be operated by the author if possible (Alex, I think Nimzo really shows enough of your handwriting :-)) or one member of the team. Best wishes, Steffen.
