NEWS 567 (9-Jan-97)
Las Palmas

The organizers of the Las Palmas Tournament have given the ICC indirect
indication (by changing the notice on their web page) that they do not
wish us to present the moves of the tournament in real-time.  Therefore
we are not going to proceed with the live coverage. 
 
You can see the games live yourself on the official web sites:
 
       http://www.net64.es/supertorneo/granca/default.htm
       http://www.elpais.es/p/d/ajedrez/partida1.htm

The games will be available here shortly after they end in the library
of the player "LasPalmas-96".  (Also check the histories of players
Anand, Ivanchuk, Karpov, Kasparov, Kramnik and Topalov.)  To see the
tournament cross table, finger laspalmas.
 
I apologize for this situation.  But it is my decision to run the ICC by
the highest ethical standards.  If the tournament really does not want
us to broadcast these moves, then ICC's policy is to respect that.
