Why? Because it is a lot of fun, but they have no sponsors, so they bring their own hardware. As these people have a lot of experience with chess software I believe their comments a lot, even if the hardware is not the same. They take that into their account when they write something! We had a discussion about this tournament here last year, so I won`t comment any further! Bert
