Currently I am too busy, but in the future I might be very interested. So the answer is yes, but not at this moment. >b) Would you let *your* (self-written) program play a type 3 tournament? >c) Should commercial programs be mixed with self-written programs? (I do not think I am qualified to answer these two questions, as I am not a chess programmer). >d) Do you know of any sites that offer something similar? > Visit IECG homepage: http://www.iecg.org Use of computer analysis to choose your moves is legal, so it is your type 2 tournaments (but I suspect many players do not use computers, so they are type 1 entries). They have 'quad tournaments' in which computers analysis is NOT allowed (but I see not way to enforce it, so it is up to the players to honor this rule; I do not see any good reason to break it, as you can play in any of the other tournaments), so these quads are your type 1 tournaments. Also, there are some computer entries in the rating list. But they did not play tournaments among them, they played in regular class tournaments against humans. So they are type 3 entries in type 2 tournaments. >Any remarks on the idea of such a site would be most welcome! I would like human vs computer tournaments. Master Steve Ham is playing two two-game correspondence matches, against Fritz and agains Nimzo. I do not have the URL handy. >Please tell me your expectations of such a site - or tell me if you think the >whole idea is nonsense. > Your ideas make a lot of sense, but they will require a lot of work from you and other people to be succesful. Be prepared to make a heavy commitment of time and effort if you want to carrry on. >TIA, Thomas >http://www.very-best.de/ > >BTW: I am new to this forum - sorry if I ask stupid questions. There are no stupid questions: rather there are stupid people who do not ask. José.
