Q: Who can play and what are the rules for entering/playing? A: It is be open to all known programs, amateur as well as commercial. More information: * Incase there is a tie for first place , I will leave it to the winning programs to decide how they wish to proceed. They can choose to share the title or fight it out at a date/time that is agreed upon. * If a program disconnects he is giving reasonable time to connect again (a couple of minutes). If he fails to do this the game will be forfeited for the disconnected program. If a program disconnects more that three times during one game it might get forfeited. * It is unfortunately impossible to guarantee that every program will get exactly four white and four black games. Therefore, no protests about one program getting more black than white games will be taken into consideration. * Only the author (or co-author) or someone appointed by the author is allowed to participate in this tournament. The author is responsible for the appointed person. * As for the hardware, you are free to use what ever you want. It would be impossible to try to get all participants use the same computer-power and to make sure that they do. * Only original programs are allowed and ABSOLUTELY NO CLONES.
