Some of the authors - especially amateurs - have been contacted (Goliath, Smarthink, List, Aristarch, Kaissa ...) but what would it change? Users would mainly like to know how public available engines will compete and not special experimental versions. But may be your´r right: some "important element" is always missing. In every tournament. In Graz only a few games are played, in Leiden too, playing private tournaments "at home" are private, of course, and so on and so on ... Nevertheless I think it is a very interessting event - for free und for fun, we shouldn´t worry about whether it is the strongest tournament (for me it is!) or not. Christian
