When talking about the Noomen book i directly sign in for such a contest.
Note that diep knows a little how to play with pawns, in contradiction to most
programs, therefore in both Kures and Noomens book the programs hardly have
to invent difficult pawn moves as difficult pawn structures aren't in the
evaluation of those programs. This doesn't keep us away from the fact that
i sign directly in for such a contest.
