What's the point of everyone >being on the same green ? I'm sure you'll see the difference between a CC tourney (which _can_ be played over the internet in theory) and a golf tournament (which _can't_ be played over the internet) if you think really hard. (consider the remarks in brackets as hints as a start) If I wanted the same style of answers like in the WCCC2003 thread, I probably would have made a follow-up there though. >Anyone who does not want to travel to a world chamionship is probably not >sufficiently interested in being a world champion. Given the fact that WCCC2003 is being held in Europe and the participant list contains only European entries and two near Europe, I can either conclude that all the rest of the world is not interested in becoming world champion or all the rest of the world may have a point. The latter seems likely to me. While I don't think it's very important for a team like Chessmaster where exactly WCCC is being held, I can imagine it is for non-commercials. (but maybe they shouldn't participate in WCCCs anyway?) Anyway, I created the new thread in order to listen to the POV from the ones who don't particpate in WCCC2003. I guess I failed. Sargon
