Second try, hope this looks better formatted.... Text taken from the Gambit Site... * The Paris stock exchange is well guarded. It is difficult to get in, so there are nearly no visitors to the Championship. Even the owners of the two Paris chess shops do not seem interested to go there! * The tournament room is beautiful, but the air is very sticky, and the tournament results are written by hand on a small piece of paper which is stuck to the wall! As a consolation you can watch the ups and downs of the share prices from the gallery! General question to the ICCA: Why are professionals losing interest? Why invest $4000-$5000 in such a poor organization on this part of the tournament? Although this is not the main reason for me not participating in Paris the above is certainly one of them. I am pretty sure *one* email to the ICC for instance would have been enough to get all the games life on the ICC. A very poor performance of the ICCA this time. I hope they will change this for the future. - Ed Schroder -
