Fwd: [Retros] PROBLEM ONLINE PROOF GAME TASK TOURNAMENT (TT1)

[Norbert Geissler]

Hi all,

Christoph's SPG is a valid one , just have a look at the given www-address to
see more ...

Why I am writing this ?
I'd like to stop people publishing Theme-Tourney SPG's at the retro-corner
before closing date of the tourney.
IMHO it's unfair to the tourney organisers  to do so !
