"My priy goal--heretofore unstated, but evident to all but the
brain-damaged--is to minimize the lies that Sam Sloan and Larry Parr
spread during this election campaign. To delay the match would defeat
that purpose. That Sam Sloan happens to be a kiddie f*cker is
convenient to my purpose." - Bill Brock (referring to this match), June
19, 2005
"I plan to beat the f*cking shit at chess out of this *sshole Bill
Brock, so please have your money ready." - Sam Sloan, June 23, 2005
[Eliding of the "earthiest" letters of these quotes was done by this

It would be great if there were an assistant arbiter available,
although entering the moves on ICC is simply a matter of pointing and
clicking so I don't think that will be too much of a burden. If it
becomes necessary for the non-peeing player to accompany the peeing
player on his bathroom breaks, I suppose I would stop the clocks until
they both got back.

In most sane chess events, players are allowed to pee unassisted.
Since this event is insane and peeing players must be accompanied,
those exact same considerations should also require the non-peeing
player to be accompanied one way or another.

Well, I have the account info and I have gone over the procedures for
broadcasting on ICC so I think I am ready to go. If the players are
not disturbed by my typing, I will try to provide additional
observations about what is going on at the board. If either of them
object to the typing, I will limit myself to inputting the moves.

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.

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!

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.

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.
