Bob:
You have made forcibly a point I made elsewhere, but perhaps with less force:
MONEY. This a matter of money. The ideal tourn some people want and demand would
cost a LOT of money. And, do we have so much money in this field? Is this a
tennis tourn where you can pay lavishly even a number 234ยบ player? Is the CNN
going to cover this for money? Will the sponsors, besides Braingames, run to put
more money on the table? It will appear a mecenas to give lots of bucks to feed,
pay, entertain and give a bed to half a dozen GM's, double  numnber of
programmers, assistants, etc? No. So this is what we have and is the very best
thing we could have. And it is an exciting thing to have. Not perfect, but a lot
better than nothing. But, of course, if somebody is prepared here to put some
bucks, well, let's do it and prepare a super tourn fitted to pleases all tastes.
But of course as fast as the word money appear, words disappear. Am I wrong?
