As you are working somehow in or around any WM -

ELVIS'd like to see a uniform platform for ALL machines there.....
or, maybe I'm just a little to dumb to see the real benefit of a match
between
prog a) on an ALPHA and prog b) on an AMD K6 200....-(

Maybe I'm just too old fashioned - but, besides that there are
relatively few
matches played anyway, I think that even progs with more knowledge
cannot fully compare high system speed of the opponent - and especially,
when every single match counts !

So therefore I really congratulate Amir on his title - and wait for my
own Jun.
version...-(( - but I think, the whole event depends a little too much
on
hardware capacity.
Same platform for each and every prog - and at least 2 matches between 2
progs.
And if time's too tight for that, one should change to 90 min/total, I
dare to doubt, that this would lower the quailty measurable.....
