2008 ACCA President's Compter Chess Tournament

[CRoberson]

Assuming you mean 'Western hemisphere' in stead of Eastern:

The Netherlands has some Islands in the Carribean, and I have Dutch Citizenship. Does that mean I can register, or is the citizenship not enough, and does one actually have to live in that hemisphere?

HGM,

Simple proposal: If you can quote me rule #4 of the President's
tournament then you can enter umax. If you can produce an ok guess
why I put that rule in, you can enter Joker as well.

As you may have noticed, Rybka is the winner, but Thinker put
