I think ICC would be happy to promote the event. >I would like to use my automatic interface, but if that is not allowed I would >be somewhat hesitant but would probably still participate. > I can't see why anybody would object to an automatic interface, especially for an event that is being played on ICC. I would hate to have a mouse slip in one of these games... >I would like there to be some rules set up beforehand, and I would like there >either to be a competent tournament director, or to structure the event such >that we don't need one. > I'd like to think that this event could be run without a director, but I guess there is always the potential for disputes. Probably some type of arbitrer would be needed. >I don't want to deal with an event where programs are entered by people other >than authors, I don't want to play against some kid's copy of Fritz.

I'd prefer for authors to operate, but I'd rather have them assign a proxy than not participate at all. >I would not be worried about cheating, but I would like the rules to be explicit >so that people don't cheat by accident. > >bruce Right. Lets see what other feedback we get. I'm really happy to hear that you and Bob would play. --Peter
