I agree for all but one: The organisation in Paderborn was really superb, and they had a big tournament hall, and lots of spectators. Remember the last round where the board of "Dark Thought vs Genius" was ringed around by almost a hundred or so afficionados ! >An Internet access should have been provided, that's definitively true. >(Myself, I worked most of this week and I had to wait for phone calls >to know about Virtual Chess II results) But if only the ICCA ... For the next events the people should remember and take care. >... Digital should have sent Altavista instead of computers :) From my point of view another thing was really annoying, namely that K6-233 processors had been promised for all participants ( which would not bring their own hardware ) until three days before the event, and that then only K6-200 were provided. I don't know who was "guilty" of this. In any case, it should not repeat in forthcoming years. Please, jump over the gap. Some more stuff comes very below. >In conclusion, if you want a better tournament, organise it !!! Good point ! >I think most of the participant enjoy the current tournament ! That is exactly my impression from Thorsten's phone calls. >And they will tell that to you when they go back home. I myself have enjoyed/enjoy very much to play the "relay" between tournament hall and internet ! And Thorsten was/is exactly the right person to have the handy. Ingo Althoefer. PS: Best wishes for Virtual for the last two rounds!
