Anyway I am a chess organizer and my data are available at several places (TWIC, ChessBase calendar, etc) so it doesn't bother me to give them. But I think it's very odd to ask such data without stating that they will not be used in a commercial way or shared. Or maybe this is stated somewhere, but as you know, I can't read :) I received the following message : "You or someone else has used your email account (here is my e-mail address) to register an account at Arena Your Application is being processed Thank you for your request for registration. Our Administrators are dealing with your request which can in some instances take upto 1 week. In the meantime please feel free to use the resources on this site." We'll see if I am given this password... Olivier
