Perhaps I’ll write here instead of sending a personal message to Evgeny via ICQ. Regarding this specific tournament, Hellight correctly noted that there are no participants who might cause problems in agreeing on the rules before the game or who might want to cheat afterward by making “post-factum changes using point #0.” Personally, I don’t see such people among the participants; they are all long-time and reliable players. Therefore, in this specific case, we can easily ignore all of Vik’s love for long “Alfeev-style texts” and just enjoy the game. In essence, Vik is only nominally the organizer in this case, and he deserves respect for that, because the format is very interesting, and there don’t seem to be any other people willing to create a “Tournament of Tournament Winners” theme. In short, you should participate; you’ll regret it later, I know from experience.
