     Hi Günther
     It's always our aim to have enough games
     even at longer time controls, details on
     our homepage http://www.utzingerkurt.com
     and if somebody plays 5 min/10 min Blitz
     we think it should be quite a good number
     of games. Should we ever start tournaments
     at 5/10m blitz level, we would not publish
     one single tournament under 500-1000 games.
     Kurt
