I would think they would want to market the tournament to as many people as
possible. Somehow I doubt the 14 participants keep ICGA alive. It's everyone
that subscribes and donates. It's great the actual tournament is going smoothly,
but I would think they would want to boost the tournament and get more people
involved outside the contestants. It's good for ICGA, it's good for computer
chess.
