Thorsten, you are only going to be able to make a meal of this if you can demonstrate the following: That Mchess applied (late ot otherwise) but indicated to the icca that there was a financial problem with the $1000 entry fee and amateur/professional status. At the moment this is just conjecture. Do you have any evidence ? 2. No doubt we can generate massive, multiple anti-icca thread right now. Its always possible to generate threads, all you need is two people, and then some others to get annoyed.will help further. Is there any point in it ? I mean, we had these battles some time back. I'm quite happy with the outcome, I got my side of the story over, and "won", in my own terms. Everybody knows the issues, I still have my opinions the same, and they theirs, no doubt. Again from my point of view, there is no possibility that the icca would ever try any discrimination against me again, it would be political dynamite for them. So the next issue is you (and Mchess). Are they treating you improperly ? Are you really banned ? Do you want to make a meal out of it ? If we stick to concrete and specific issues, then I'm willing to go along with the discussion. But, as Bruce says, just regurgitating old stuff to attack the icca with deoes seem a little pointless right now. Lets keep to specific issues that can be backed with data. Mchess entry may be one, Thorsten icca status may be another. But with DATA only. Chris
