Kurt and company,

  Glad to see your new tournament. I agree on scrapping the old vs new versions
idea, or even new vs new settings (CMxx), although sometimes there are
exceptions. Things get very murky when we see five chessmaster settings, three
shredder version, four fritz engines... Also glad to see a return to own books,
even though I occasionally enjoy a same book tournament. Nice to see a test
other than fast blitz as well.

Thanks,
Brian
