Some of the rule changes aren't changes or don't matter. The 1/2 of programmers must be ICCA members is old. The G/30 finish is terrible, but this is to be expected when people who haven't operated a program for ten years make the rules. The multiprocessor thing is the big deal, obviously. I have mixed feelings about this. If this was done because Chessbase called up David and/or Jaap and explained to them that the level of competition would be higher if they allowed these machines, and David and/or Jaap bought this, that sucks. On the other (very minor) hand, there have been multiprocessor machines available for not too much money for years, and this makes it even more apparent that everyone needs to get with it and develop for them. bruce
