This idea came out of a discussion from a different thread, but I thought I'd start fresh: Here's a question for all the programmers: How many of you would play in an online tourney at ICC, and what factors would influence your decision? For me it would be: number (and quality) of the participants time control number of rounds My personal preference would be to play at G/90, and to limit the number of rounds so the event could be completed in a weekend. I suspect that many of the programs from Will's "Green List" would show up, but I wonder if Crafty, Ferret, Diep, or any of the commercial programs would play? Nothing to gain, perhaps? Maybe the ICC would sweeten the pot with a small prize fund? Perhaps if ICC promoted the event, the publicity would make it more interesting for the commercial programs. Would cheating be a concern? I pretty much trust all the programmers, but do others feel differently? I'm interested in hearing everyone's opinion. It's a shame that we have this fantastic public arena for online chess that has never been used to stage a formal computer chess event... --Peter
