They pretty much have to. The ICGA has achieved a rather lousy reputation in the chess community, and very few participants are showing up nowadays (11 on the list now). Compare that to the online tournaments, which always have around 30 or more participants. Personally I'd like to go and meet some other programmers, but there are so few. And even after the subsidies it would still be very expensive... _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
