The first half of your sentence explains perfectly why I consider this
tournament interesting: It takes long time, and has rather few games.  This
means that I am able to play through and analyse most of the games.  To me,
knowing whether program A is 50 Elo points stronger than program B is not
interesting at all.  On the other hand, playing through a few hard-fought
games is always enjoyable.
