OK, the video reports from WCCC2004 were really outstanding too, agreed,
although I don't think that the pictures added so much to the experience as the
camera was very static. I don't know if there were longer interviews in Israel,
I thought this was a nice idea by chess.fm.

A plus for GM Alterman is that he understands more about chessprograms than the
master on radio.

Following the games is surely more interesting for spectators when they can see
the computer evaluation and mainlines live.

Probably the biggest advantage for cct was coicidence - there was no human event
at the same time, so that there were much more visitors, not only hardcore fans.
