Hi Gerd, I saw the following rules proposed for the next CCT: 1. AutoPlay 2. AutoKibitz PVs At first I thought that everyone was paranoic, because who in the world is spending many months programming and at le moment supreme plays with Fritz? But at second sight, many of the operators are not the authors (that I all fully trust) and the behaviour you describe is indeed too easy in case of manual operating. Of course these rules would mean a bit of programming for a couple of authors. But if declared 6 months before the tournament it should be no big deal, I would think. Best regards, Bas.
