Aegon >can do it, the WMCCC can do it too. *if* they wanted to... I fear that AEGON is history as well... I heard some noises that they are going to stop this event. Very unfortunate, I played there this year and it is by far the best computertournament in the world. I hope they will change their opinion. I wonder what the ICCA stands for: They should bring computerchess to a broader audience, shouldn't they? As you can read in Chris Whittington's report it is almost impossible to get in there and no one seems to bother to post any results. What does the ICCA expect from such a tournament? Just to have it take place and 'that's all'? No wonder strong programs are refusing to play. The use of this event is simply zero, with no interest whatsoever. Best regards, Jeroen
