Hi Fernando,
I received a communication from Chris. Since he left the group,
he does not have the capability to respond here, so I believe it
only fair that I relay his response...

1. The tournament did take place. With a tournament director and arbiter.

2. Entries to this tournament were solicited with a one hundred pound
sterling entry fee.

3. This solicitation was taken up. By Mindscape, with ChessMaster for
example.

4. The tournament result was as stated.
