There is clearly a lot of interest on this bulletin board in the ICGA WCCC 2004 event in Israel. It is clearly repaying us with some interesting games, incidents and a close contest. Like G-CP and others who would very much like to be there in person, I regret that I have not been able to attend, and have offered my apologies to Omid and colleagues who are doing a first class job with the organisation there. [ In my case, I would not have been able to attend anytime in the last 10 weeks if the event had been anywhere but my home town, but that's life. ] I am happy to receive suggestions for the requirements of an ICGA infrastructure to support ICGA events, and also happy to hear of good examples of such infrastructure, technologies involved, and expertise willing to be involved. I say this not only with my ICGA V-P hat on, but as a Univ lecturer happy to engage suitable CS students in suitable, interesting projects which are required to solve 'real problems' for 'real customers' by the authenticating body (the BCS) in the UK. Email is more convenient for me than CCC but I don't wish to stifle discussion on CCC if that is preferred. However, you will note that Chessbase are included in WCCC2004's sponsors, and are indeed webcasting the event with Boris' commentaries. Chessbase offered to support the ICGA with their technology at Maastricht in 2002 and that offer was welcomed by the Association. We are very grateful for Chessbase's continued interest in the ICGA WCCC and their commitment to webcasting. Finally, I thank Omid again for performing his many roles in parallel with exercising FALCON very creditably in the event. He has the support of the ICGA personnel there. Guy Haworth VP, ICGA
