Subject: Apologies for lousy Internet support!

First let me apologize for the lousy Internet support during
the match especially to Luca Roatta from RoSystem, the ICC
community and of course you who I had promised LIVE support
during the 2 tournament games!

Never in my life I have experienced such a slow provider as the
one in South Italy. With an average of 10-20 bytes per second it
is simply impossible to do a proper job. With great difficulties
we were able to post some messages on our own Rebel-board. It
was a real disaster!

So just before the first tournament game started we decided to
transfer the moves by phone to Rob at the office. Then Rob put
them on the Rebel-board which just was installed before I left.

So next time another detail in all the preparations of such an
event must be checked too, check the speed of the foreign
provider you are going to log-in. Be sure we will do that next
time!
