Bruce simply did not know about the rules and it was a mistake of Volker when he
did not ask the people to write I agree that my program kibitz automatically the
pv and the nodes and the time when it plays.

The problem of not kibizing was only in the first day and I understood that the
players that did not kibitz in the first day kibited in the second day.

I guess that it is not the reason for them not to play.
Did one of the programmers said that he is not going to play because of that
reason?
