Don't you think that's a bit selfish of you, interrupting a tournament for the sake of moving to a new place? Always thinking of yourself. What about our needs!? You could consider putting your computers on a big trolly with a gas powered generator and move them that way. Ala the Seinfeld episode where George is moving the arcade game while not wanting to lose his high score. :) My real question is, would you email the games when the tourney is over? Just like they are a good source of detecting opening book flaws, I'm finding too that fast games are a good source for discovering endgame weaknesses in programs. What I usually do is play the game over starting from the last ten moves or so to see if there is some basic endgame knowledge lacking. Most positions are resolved with simply more clock time, but on occasion there are the long term deficiency ones.
