There was live coverage of the chess event with grandmaster commentary this year for everyone at the playchess server. I can understand that this posed technical problems for some, so maybe they will find a better way next year. Before the event and partly during it, there was a huge amount of criticism at CCC, but only seldom was it constructive. It is *not* constructive to say that everything sucks IMHO ... I knew that Matthew would take no offense, so I worded strongly - but I would expect ICGA members to do their best to make suggestions to improve the event, and not to hold graveyard speeches. Peter
