    Engines are a great learning tools, and particularly useful for post-game analysis. But any tool can be misused. Do we blame the tool? Or the wielder of the tool?

    Now!
    Unfortunately, the server is having trouble giving me
    access to the tournament page :'(
    Perhaps Russ should use the same format as in the
    2006 Championship; links to the 36 groups...

    Good luck all and Wibble since you can't choose, you must now play 1. Nf3 or 1.c4 every game =) (eh I'm probably awy too late with the advice)

    Edit: amazingly enough 12 games have already completed. Congrats to the winners.
