Сute deserved "old men"! :| :) Aristarch played here:
http://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=76096
I will revive him and others from your list somewhere someday...

At the moment I hope that I have found some reasonable settings for Benjamin 2.0. The task that seemed almost impossible for the first time.

Thank you for the tournaments.
So many great games, and great choice of streaming on YouTube, where it is possible to rewind stream to watch the previous game / analyze interesting position.

P.S. I must say i enjoy Drofa`s images (both for 2.1.0 and 2.0.0) every time i see them :D
