Thanks much Jeroen,

It's was a pain trying to find a decent free web site, in the end I gave up and
just stuck with tripod. I uploaded the javascript replay function that Chessbase
generates but it didn't seem to work on their web site.

Then one of the vendors threatened me with a court order if I didn't quit asking
them for a certain "RISC" model to participate in the tournament. After that
another certain interested party tried to substitute a Mephisto Modena model for
the Berlin Pro, but this was found out due to their using "cornflake yellow"
paint for the letters instead of the gold letters Mephisto actually used on the
BP. After that security was increased by consulting Lloyd's and the rest of the
tournament has been relatively incident-free. The Sapphire has been accused of
entering the tournament hall with a PDA taped to its back, though. Of course,
everything in this paragraph is just gibberish, so I guess I'll get back to the
chess. :)

More Chess and Fun Regards,

Chuck
