There is nothing preventing you from doing the same, play a chess tournament on the internet and then afterwards go travel the world. I just don't see the appeal in having to travel half way around the world with a 20 kg rig. Then when you arrive at this great sunny location you get to sit cooged up in a gymhall for 6 hrs a day, probably no aircondition, oh yahoo... Seriously, like I wouldn't want to spend my time on something else should I decide to visit Irael for a week or two. I guess I'm just a bit mystified by all these high-tech folks still adhering to such antiquated methods, it would be laughable if it wasn't so darn sad. -S. >anthony
