I may enter in case that I find an operator with faster hardware.

I bought My A3000(2.01 ghz) in 2004 and I do not think that it is fast enough.

bahh, no operator please. That remembered me on last Leiden. :?
It's a online tourney, i see no reason for an operator. If you have no time don't play, very easy.

Best,

Oh, come on Uri. Think strategically!

1) If Movei does well with weak HW, then you are a great programmer!
2) If Movei doesn't do well, then you have a built in excuse!

Besides, its not just about winning.

I tell my kids regularly "if everybody plays and everybody has fun then everybody wins".

Its as much an online mini-conference and gathering as it is a tournament. Thus, all authors
should enter even if their program is rated in the triple digit range. Once they are
online and chatting with the rest of us, they are likely to learn something useful.
It certainly adds to the fun when you learn something on Saturday and code it that night
then watch your program play better on Sunday!
