Can anyone tell me what I need to do to reach the right place on ICC to
input the game? It would be nice if I could do a dry run so I'm not
trying to figure it out as the game starts. I do play at ICC so I have
some familiarity.

Vince

Mr. Hart:

If you want to try a dry run, why don't you log onto the GRUDGE05
ICC account, type "help broadcast," and try following the directions in
the help file. (Since you are actually examining the game you
broadcast, "help examine" will also get you some useful info). I think
setting the game information (using the "tag" or
"setwhitename/setblackname" commands) and the relaying of the game
moves is fairly straightforward, but getting the clocks to run right
requires a bit of doing, so I would recommend you try it out before
game time and ask an admin if you can't figure it out.

Also don't forget to use the "mexamine" command to make one of the
observers an examiner during the game, so that if you get disconnected
the game won't be lost.

Good luck!

You should try to have another person entering the ICC moves. You can
deputize that person to watch player A while you accompany player B to
the restroom. You wouldn't want anyone pulling an extra queen out of
his sleeve while the opponent and arbiter are away. But if it's
player A's move and his clock is running, he should be allowed to
ponder at the board, not leave with B and the arbiter.

I actually might watch this thing. I'm an ICC'er, so why not?
I'm picking Sam Sloan to win... based mainly on his fearlessness at
the board. Buuuut... what do I know? Not much.

I sent Sam $500. for my ringside seat to this match, but he has not returned
my phone calls. Where can I pick up my ticket?

Where are the details for this match? Were they posted here?
