Hi Grzegorz, >Last CCT was only for winboarders in practice. >In my opinion it was very bad idea. On the net we can easy find >many winboard's tournaments. I can't see any reason why people who >haven't got winboard support must do it for this tournament. >Tournament without top comercial programs it is not interesting tournamnet. >Majority institute justice. the things you have said might be true for the spectators - as a participant the opposite is true. As a participant I love most those in between discussions with the opponents. Also this kibitzing is very important in my opinion - it gives a good comparison between the programs - in depth and in score. And I never use so much time to watch my engine thinking then during such tournaments. So now about the commercials: usually it is an operator and not the programmer that participate. This is really not interesting, about what should I discuss with that one ? Without kibitzing you have no comparisson... The only negativ thing about the kibitz and automated rule is, that some amateurs could not participate because their chessprogram is written in a language which makes it impossible to participate. For me that is the sad side of the rule, nothing else. I do not miss the commercials at all. No tears for them... And if they really WANT to participate it would be easy for them. But they simply don't want to... Greets, Thomas
