So how is he serious, and I am not? Because you have proven to be a very hatred person who will do anything to give those you dislike a push. Note that i'm not like that, you don't see any protest from me against you leading the tournament. I'm sure you'll do a fine job if you can stay objective and let the program do the pairings. Note that i have more TD experiences than you might guess, but i'm not having ambitions to lead a tournament at icc; i'm involved in enough events already and a problem of being TD is that you are supposed to show up, which will be rather hard for me this time if the tournament is a few days before or during IPCCC2005 tournament where i will be physical present :) The real problem of the TD will be having a seeding that is realistic, where programs which recently do well are seeded high. In normal chess seeding is much easier because you can't *improve* chessplayers suddenly that much, and you play more rounds in a tournament. In our international Blitz event for example, which plays 5 march 2005, where many GM's also will show up, we play 38 rounds 5 0. Vincent >Peter
