Maybe I'm not getting something, but in these types of "official" computer chess tournaments, why do the programmers and operators actually get out a board and pieces to play with when they all have GUI's right there on their screens? Why not dispense with that seemingly superflorous prop? Even if some programs are not compatable with the auto232 player, they can still transfer the moves from screen to screen directly with out "playing" it on a board. After all, the super Cadaques tournament run by Enrique who also did a 24-game match between Fritz and Junior to officially determine who would challenge Kramnik did all of the games via the auto232 player and did not waste his time with a board and pieces. Just wondering.
