I'd agree with you there... while it might be expensive.. if I had the money it
would be worth it to meet the top chess developers :)

Dr. Hyatt, and the guys from Chessbase, etc... that alone would be it's weight
in gold... plus the knowledge  you might gain by actually talking to these
fellows.

So I hope I can afford it someday... but for now I might try for CCT.
Thanks :)

Sincerely,
