FULLY agreed. CCTs are fantastic. It is definitely more relaxed then those official tournaments. But some thrill is involved (AND some paranoia if you see a bug and must fix that for the next game...) - and that is okay... The kibitzing rule (most are already kibitzing in the older CCTs) is also a good thing, for the specators and for the participants. As I said in another posting - the rules are a good compromise - if anyone has a better idea everybody would be open for it for sure... Greets, Thomas
