There are no fees for joining the prize tourney. But there are fees
for becoming an ICC member.

That`s right. Although it`s a small amount of money it is still my money
paid for the organizers.

For many reasons, ICC will never be able to tell me that their rules
and their change of policies are promptly reflected, promptly updated
in public files. When you want, wish for a clean, clear and fruitful
working relationship with your customers, you first establish loud and
clear the rules, policies, etc.. and you always try to address their
intelligence, their will to cooperate.

Exactly.


I would protest if someone`s pure suspicion not supported by
proofs lead to my disqualification.

When you join a prize tourney of this sort, you implicitly agree with
the tourney rules, it's a implicit form of a signed contract. You'll
never be able to say later that the tourney rules were not public and
clearly worded.

Agreed, that`s why Comrade Zhukovsky withdrew from ICC. If they (ICC) don`t
give explanations it`s the only way.

Yes, I could but not many details. I was not involved into that case.
(After march 1998, I always boycotted detection of prize tourney cases
on ICC.) In fact, it was John Fernandez, tournament director for USCF
in those ICC prize tourneys, who told me so. I could find you the
handle of that cheater. He was listed in the uscfbarred helpfile on
ICC.

So one wins and nobody objects during the tournament and then out of the
blue someone takes the prize from the winner ?
