Exclusive in you must be there, you must bring you own hardware, probably you must speak german too to not feel left out. And you think _kibitzing_ is a tough demand?? >World Computer Chess Championship, my own country championship and some >others.

Doesn't matter to me very much whether the commercials is there, the tournament is so huge already. Not kibitzing would take some of the fun out of it for me, no question. You have just two dumb machines making moves now, you don't who is winning or if one engine sees a clear advantage. Pretty boring just sitting there waiting for the end. >This people will not play. >We can create tournament with many limitation: for PC, for English speakers, >for comercial, for private but it will not the same big tournament. >We can expect kibitz information from wb engines but not from others. >It is not easy for all.

Wouldn't it be better if they implemented this feature into their GUI than for us to change the rules? It's a must-have feature anyway, we'd be doing them a favor :) -S. >Grzegorz
