One again:
Michael Okser asked for permission to participate with Goliath Light at CCCT4
tournament (up to that time i haven`t heard about such a tournament, sorry - so
I wasn`t familiar with the rules and so on). I agreed, because there are no
license restrictions regarding Goliath Light playing at tournaments or testing
by SSDF or anything else. Besides: no other request at that time regarding
CCCT4.
I hope you understand that I WILL NOT withdraw the given permission. It would be
more than unfair to withdraw only because of I would like to see a stronger
program or the program running on faster hardware in the tournament.

Regards
Michael
