Hi,

Yes I do... :-)

Ikarus will play on a Pentium Centrino with 2.0 GHz and 768 MB RAM, slow hard
disk drive.
If this fails for some reason, we will have to move to an AMD Athlon 2800+ with
1 GB RAM.
So this seems somewhat competitive, although certainly not at the very high end
of what is in the tournament.

Sorry for not making this known in time, but it could have become something
worse as well. Seems all set now, though...

As for the seeding, I hope that Ikarus is ranked (way) too low, but we will see
in the next two days. In such an event, (almost) anything can happen.
Honestly, I do not care that much for the seeding anyway - in the end, you have
to win the games...

Anyway, I wish everyone a great time!

Best regards - Munjong.
