No, a meeting where the CSVN as we know it now will stop. Unless of course enough programmers will enter next tournament. I suggest you read article 14 of the CSVN statutes. It is the members that decide to liquidate, not the board (and if the board consists of 4 elected members, as the agenda of t...

The board had a real struggle to have enough programs for the tournament last may. If programmers don't want to participate anymore, then the magazine is also losing one of its pillars. In november they will try once more to organize it. If the respons is again as bad as, or lower than in may, the ...

There is one more magazine still active. The Dutch magazine Computerschaak is still alive, although maybe not for much longer.

Diary friday and saturday
Friday november 25 If I would go by train I would have to switch 3 times. Too dangerous. I could fall asleep and miss my connection. Then better go by car. I forgot to mention that I was trying to figure out what Pandix means. After our draw in the WCCC I thought of something: Plays Always Nice Draw...

Tuesday november 24 I got up just before round 1 and decide to watch my opponents. To my big surprise I see Hiarcs playing against Jonnny. I thought we had a bye. A phonecall to Harvey explained it. After I left the TD paired again for whatever reason. Now we have the bye in round 3. "I can do ...

Wednesday november 23 The decisive last round of the WCCC. Hiarcs reaches a Junior style of opening. That must be why Junior is so unhappy (0.70 for white). Hiarcs stays a few moves longer in book and only shows 0.30 out of book. Junior has to give rook for bishop and pawn, but the open position of ...

Tuesday november 22 If you are tired your mind works in mysterious ways. So often I drove past gasstations with the “Open 24 hours” sign, but this morning for the first time I am thinking why they don’t just put “Open”. Much cheaper, which is good in this financial crisis. They predicted more traffi...

Monday november 21 For the third consecutive day Holland is almost completely covered with fog. That means more traffic jams. So I leave 2 hours and 24 minutes before round 5 starts to avoid them. It is pretty quiet the first half of the journey, so I drive slowly. But in the second half it is getti...

Sunday november 20 Again a short night. The alarm woke me up at 6:30. Probably because I programmed it that way. Last night I gave Harm Geert a 15 minute window in which I would pick him up. Made it with a few minutes to spare. One hour long we ride in one of the thickest fogs I have ever encountere...

Since Rybka is no longer allowed to participate, I thought I would just visit the WCCC just once or twice for pictures and an interview or two. So when Harvey couldn’t get a week off from work, I gladly accepted his offer to operate Hiarcs. That’s why there is another diary this year. Saturday novem...

Clay medals.
Harvey When you say about the visit to the robot museum, are you referring to the old bearded gentleman as being 250 years as he doesn't look a day over 200!! Also who on earth designed those medals. Not too sure if I'd show them to anyone when I got home. Bryan One of the japanese organisers, who ...

3-10 Ok, couldn't resist. Had to write one more chapter, because so much happened on the flight back. I was in the lobby with my suitcase a little before 6:00 am, the time that the breakfastroom should open. Johan came 5 minutes later. Without suitcase, which wasn't even packed yet and he still had ...

2-10 For the first time during my stay, one of the restaurantstaff sees me wrapping my lunch. There I stand with egg on my face. But that can also be because I forgot to wipe my mouth clean. At the venue I found two Japanese guys willing to sort out all the coins that I gathered for my brother. Some...

Kanazawa Diary
1-10 On the way to the venue I pass a schoolclass. One of the boys asked me if I am from Italy. Probably saw too many ganstermovies. Or I had pasta stains from the night before. A draw against Shredder is enough for the title, so we chose an opening where it is difficult for black to win. If Shredde...
