  I'd rather play in june, cause my new engine is still in developement phase,
and I got very little spare time, but I'll play anytime.
  Playing in june is, IMO, also better, because 2 events a year seems ok. More
than too seems too much, and can make the pleople interest go decrease.

  Apart from this notes, I'd like to suggest the possibily of playing another
tournament (not changing this one at all) in which programs play humans on ICC.
Kind of a swiss system, but programs playing only humans and viceversa.
  Among the people interested, the n better ICC ratings would play, plus one or
too invited gm's or im's.
  What do you guys think?

  José C.
