The event was organized by tournament director Martin Fischer. A lawyer in real life, Martin and his server tournaments keep getting a higher profile. He started with regular blitz tournaments, later followed by the official Internet Championship of the German Chess Federation and this Sunday it was the first European Internet Championship. Well, what could be next? The two other Tournament Directors came from the ECU: Werner Stubenvoll, who is also Chairman of the FIDE Technical Committee, and Dr. Dirk de Ridder expertly supervised the event. The only negative aspect was the disqualification of two players from the Candidate Tournament on Saterday, who played with the help of computer-assistence. After careful analysis the judgment of the Tournament Directors, who were assisted by Grandmaster Rainer Knaak, was ananimous: clear cheating. http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=1297
