There might be justified criticism (e.g. the Unix issue), that maybe can be done better in later events. But I think the general level of criticism here is way out of bounds. Every Windows user not behind a firewall he doesn't have administrator rights to ( so him being at work I suppose ;) ), can just download the *free* Playchess server interface and watch the games real time with free GM commentary by Boris Alterman. It would be easier to understand the criticism if sometimes also the positive sides were mentioned. Also the results and gamescores get updated in a timely manner (at least daily) on the tournament webpage. Actually as an operator I don't have time to watch the other games live, so I just watch them on playchess and on the webpage, same as I would do if I were at home. Peter
