Hello All Well, yesterday I was talking a friend who really like chess and who use computer programs for helping. At some point of our talking, when I said I have most of the better programs (well, I would say I have all of them), he pointed out that he would be the one who would give most attention to chess engines, not to ssdf or search list programs(there are lot of conflicts about the trust). So, I remember my friend about John Nunn match idea (in chessbase page).But my friend pointed that these positions would give fritz better chances, because chessbase set the positions for fritz programs and so. I can't say that this is truth or not.(and this is not the point) . So,I thought: why don't we choose the positions: there are specialists here, people who works with chess programs. We could select some positions: not only one kind of position: closed or open, but even strategical lost positions (then we could select good defense programs, or even foind out if a program could win a strategical winning game).I have other ideas for chess positions too, but this is not the case now to talk about all these ideas (for now!). Then after choosing this positions (which will take time , because I do not believe that democracy came with discution - but of course we will get a good solution: most of the programmers of best chess programas are here...so they will help choosing positions too) we could choose programs and hardwares, and make programs play each other HAND operated ( I am tired to listen that CASE in ssdf list) . I am developing a new homepage, and I will put everything, everynews about this in there since I get some time( maybe, just one more weekend).What do you think ? Ins't this list about computer chess ? So, let's find out what is best engine ! (and not better book chess program) All we need now is people who have chess programs and 2 computers at least (remember you can't use one computer to run two chess programs) and I need tecnichal assistance(because I have the programs and some people to help me, but I need chess programmers to tell me what is right to do when playing computer x computer) :-) Well, I really would like people to discuss this idea! and give suggestions. I will write more about it. I would like people who answer this, asnwer me directly to my e-mail too: Because sometimes I just can't access internet explorer but I can read e-mails: ricardo@aquarius.ime.eb.br Thanks in advance, Ricardo Sant'Ana Psy (ICC)
