Don't forget this one!

I ,ade a ,istakek in the original announcement with the time zone; the tourney will take place at

Saturday March 7, 3 pm (EST)

This is 21:00 CET, and noon in California.

I think I fixed the bug in mamer w.r.t. the color asigned to the pairings: I found two variables totalWhites and totalBlacks in there that never were updated! And apparently the decision was taken based on those variables...

Great news. I'm looking forward to it.

Speaking of Mamer, ever figure out why it started refusing to take commands from me? I'd like to go back to being Quadrox (not Quadroxx.)

Is the server down? or has the address changed?

I tried 80.100.28.169 5000 and could not connect.

The server is not up 24/7. It's a resedential internet connection, hosted from a computer that does other things, so it probably won't go up until an hour or so before the tournament ...

He's also got to create an account for you (if you didn't play in the last one.) Just send a PM and tell H.G. the name of the engine so he can create a login and send you the password.
