I would participate in the KGS tournament if it takes place this 
weed-end, but it might be a good idea to postpone it. Aya and GGMC may 
have problems to participate in both. This week-end would be more 
convenient for me, but I would participate next week too.

I think this is less interesting now that MC programs are stronger than 
classical programs even at fast time control.
