That is a nice idea, Larry. It surely would be fun to play such a strong
tournament.
I could organize it in Berlin, but the problem is of course to decide who should
participate...

I also like Peter's suggestion:
"My personal view is that we should accept NSR grades unless
a player prefers to retain his Elo-based grade."

In that case, I would like to stay 3-dan. I would prefer to see
the 4-dan diploma (which I am very proud of!) as an award for my
achievement at the Forum. My true strength is better reflected
by my ELO-rating.
