Hi Uri, >I wonder why they chose GNU chess as a free ticket. > >It could be better to choose something stronger to do the tournament more >interesting(for example smarthink or aristarch that could probably get better >than 0 points even with the bad hardware that gnu was using). I think the reason is quite simple: They had no equal number of participants - and there is nothing more uninteresting to have a bye during the rounds, especially in the last round - so they choose GnuChess to give at least a competition - but on a hardware where it should usually not have any influence on the final result... So I think the decision was okay. Greets, Thomas
