I also know that some of the players form Italy had >major connection problems with their internet provider and no one know why. I had connection problems with Esc during the games against Armageddon and Sjeng, both games during rush hours (saturday night and sunday early evening). I already knew I would have had problems on sunday, while I was surprised to have them also on saturday. Last week I also had some disconnections during sunday evening, but I had already been crushed by Arasan, so it was in my spare time... :)) As far as I know this week end also Cyberpagno had some little problems, while Leila hadn't, but was operated by Thomas Mayer in Germany. Anyway I would like to thank again Armageddon programmer and Sjeng operator for the patience they showed during those games. Regards, Claudio
