What makes an internet tournament any less real or serious that any other
tournament?  I have participated in both types of tournaments, and they seem
equally real to me.  I can assure you that they were taken pretty seriously by
most participants.

Of course the internet tournaments are going to have a few teething problems, as
they are a new way of doing things.  But new does not always mean bad.  I
believe the CCT tournaments are an important way forward for computer chess,
these tournaments will only become bigger and better.
