Hi friends,
We're at 9 days until the third Computer Chess Tournament begins!
Here's an update on what's going on:
1. Volker Richey has emailed me asking me to enter Fritz with
him as operator. I replied asking if he had permission from
Frans... hopefully he does! (or can get it). So, Fritz is
a possibility.
2. I've emailed Potzy about adding CCT3 to the online events list
on ICC. Hopefully we'll get some spectators outside of the
Computer Chess community.
3. Jim Deffely from ICC emailed me. I quote:
"I seem to be the person now who has to pick up the slack left
by who ever was working with you before."
It seems he has been volunteered, but I welcome any help from ICC
we can get! :-)
4. If an ICC TD falls through, I've had two volunteers to direct
the tournament. One is Vincent, although he requested the tournament
be moved to FICS before asking him to TD. The other is Jason
Williams, who has some TD experience as well, but may be operating
Chess Master.
5. ENTRY DEADLINE IS SUNDAY, MAY 20... I will be forwarding the final
entry list to ICC on Monday, May 21 for pairings. Please register
via this forum or emailing me directly.
6. If you don't have an ICC account, Andy (Zek) has stated that you
should first register at chessclub.com for the 7 day trial, then
email him for an extension to 30 days. He will be setting initial
ratings to 2600.
