Subject: Exciting news about the authors-only championship in two weeks!!

I have now secured live commentary for all three rounds of the quarterly
championship!

Round 1 - IM Radoslaw Jedynak (www.chessclub.com/finger/Moonspell)
   I've worked with this guy on a few events, and he's quite a nice guy. His
english isn't the best, but he's entertaining, and he has a good way of
explaining things.

Round 2 - NM Dan Heisman (www.chessclub.com/finger/PhillyTutor)
   Dan's also a nice guy, and associated with the ICGA. He's also a teacher and
has written several books. He's regularly writes for www.chesscafe.com and did
some lectures for www.chess.fm when it was running.

Round 3 - Drumroll please...
   Former US champion, played a match with ChessMaster 9000 in the fall of '02,
and a banter match on ICC with Alexei Dreev. He's written two books on attacking
chess and is considered an extremely creative player. GM Larry Christiansen will
be providing the commentary for this championship match :)

I think this will be an instructive event for all who can attend, whether you're
a programmer or not. I know I can't wait! Enjoy! Andrew
