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.....
