Subject: What are they smoking at Club Kasparov??

I went to their site to check out the live Frankfurt games, but couldn't seem to
get anything actually moving other than the clocks.  So I decided to check out
the playing zone there.  Lame!  Not only is it web-based as opposed to having a
real playing client, but banner ads pop up *during* games.  What idiot thought
this up?  OK, so obviously they are thinking they want to keep the site free by
having advertising, but I would much rather pay if necessary to have CK be like
ICC in terms of robust play, anti-cheating features, online events, etc.  With
Kasparov's name and online participation they could have easily made a better
ICC than ICC, the premiere chess site on the net, yet they don't even have a
playing client.  Way to be in business!  Not.
