Thanks to All, specially to Volker and Folgers, and all Participiants. Nice to meet you. My first online Tournament - not less exciting than real "offline" Tournaments. Quite happy to reach 50% in this very strong field, due to a lucky draw againt Crafty. I will post some test positions in the next days, where Isi faild. And i promise, that was my first and last online tournament, a played manually. The cheating potential is very high, when you play manually. Two aspects: 1.forcing easy moves 2.waiting entering moves, if ponder hit in critical situations. The second one even appears, if you are a while away from your PC. So it's strongly recommend to play automaticly - and may be to have common log-files. Some programs whispered their PV: "ah, it's expects Qd6 draw" and you see your programs variation avoids draw by a loosing line and score of +0.01. Nice to give the program more time then. In my opinion it would be better to play quite - even in auto games. cheers Gerd
