Agree. Actually every Friday and Sunday there were blitz-tourneys for computers
(open for any, not just authors-only), using the special event tomato-bot
"pear". However since the beginning of June it is obviously not scheduled among
the tomato managers, probably because only 4-6 joined the last months. Usually
more than half of the participants were non-authors with copies of Shredder,
Fritz, Junior etc.

I bellieve once a year is perfect to get the "heat". Combining with an annual
blitz sounds sweet (see other posts).
