I would fully agree with this logics if there would have been a wcc2001
planned. There isn't.

But there is a cool international CSVN tournament 18-20 may
where as far as i know everyone joins. My hope is that also
shredder joins this time!

Of course there are some counter arguments against this tournament
also. It's just 90 0 level, which is not really comparable with 40 in 2
level.

However this is no problem for me!

I'm looking forward to this tournament!
