First, thanks again for doing this. It's good to see a variety of members stepping up to initiate these things. After CCT3, we'll have to set up a website to document the continuing history of this event. Perhaps it will become a great tradition, or evolve into something else (you never know). Several participants have recorded eloquent descriptions of the events, and these should be preserved in one place. As for the event date, I would like the current weekend to stand (May 26-27). Several people have indicated that weekend would work. If you postpone it into the summer months, there will be more conflicts. ICC will likely have another TD, and if not, one of us can volunteer to be a temporary admin, and learn the system. I am surprised that ZChess is playing under the Pharaon name, no one associates that with ZChess. Are you sure about that? I thought Peter Fendrich was based here in the USA. What is this Boojum? Successor to Slutsky's old program, or something new? Haven't seen it on ICC. You'll have to push the promo angle, they won't do it themselves. And please add me to the player list. Will
