One biggest event in my eyes. Only world champ is bigger.

i-csvn tournament is big of course in number of participants,
but a level of 90 0 is pretty quick. But considering the
great organisation from Ulf Lorenz it is definitely the one
biggest event when talking about playing conditions.

Also it's played at a time when there are very little other tournaments.

Only recently we saw i-csvn tournament. But i-csvn tournament is typical
dutch organized within 3 days of time (4 days would be better).

So where i regrettably could not go to Berlin this time i definitely will
be there in februari!

I do not see Gandalf as amateur. Of course legal status with icca it's amateur,
but considering the work done on gandalf it definitely isn't amateur from
social viewpoint. Also i give gandalf very little chance to win this
event, even though it of course will score well.

But it's 3 minutes a move. Gandalf has a problem against Shredder and DIEP
and other programs at 3 minutes a move as it plays too antipositional.
