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?
