| | | | Thursday, Nov 5, 2009 14:25 | Autumn issues mailing delayedMany subscribers become worried because these issues, published one month ago, haven't reach you yet. This information should have been given earlier - my apologies for forgetting to do it. The reason for delay is the combination of three events which occured in succession:
1) I didn't have time to mail the magazines before the Rio Congress (2 weeks delay)
2) When I came back I had a bad cold - fortunately not a swine flu! (1 additional week delay)
3) When I finally mailed the magazines the part of Serbian Post Office was on strike (more delay)
As I received my first mail yesterday, after some 10 days of finding the empty mailbox, I assume that the strike was over and that the envelopes are at last on their way to you.

What is new and particularly interesting about this round is that it will be judged by members of MatPlus.Net.
After the closing date problems will be presented in "Your comments..." application and each members will have the opportunity to make their own ranking of the entries. An extension is added to the application to provide the tool for doing that job. The final result will be calculated by summing the points from each individual judgement. More in the announcement.
Members are invited to take part in this experiment. If shown successful it will help us to define a model for another way of judging the tourneys, which will certainly open new frontiers in our chess problem life. | | |
