Why do you think the NPS tournament is a waste of time? My view, in total 30 >>4:30 vs 45:00<< games will be played. Imagine the following possible scores: a) 4:30 vs 45:00 5 - 25 --> Speed is decisive. b) 4:30 vs 45:00 10 - 20 --> My expectation. c) 4:30 vs 45:00 13 - 17 --> Speed is not decisive. >Please keep on doing the good work on normal 40/2:00. I will, I am expecting a positive answer for sponsoring CCL. This means I will get 6 top Pc's for the use of CCL. I then can move CCL to these six machines (so more games) and use the PII-266/64 I am using now for CCL for the NPS tournament. - Ed - > Christophe
