a sidenote about the 2nd Ehlvest-Rybka match

Post by Mike S. »

It is scheduled to start July, 5th.

It is a waste of time to make big "in depth" discussions now, because interest won't last for more than 3 or 4 days, and when the match starts other people will join and discuss the same points again, completely ignoring what has been written now.

It is too early.
Regards, Mike

You're probably correct with your second point Mike, but the match is already evoking much interest and discussion, so nothing wrong with discussion at present. :wink:
