Go up one level in this thread


The first round is over now.
I give the (few) results i know:

Junior - Eugen 7			0.5-0.5
Goliath - Techno Chess			1-0
Chess System Tal - The Crazy Bishop	1-0

seems to be many draws.

The participants which use the loan PCs (AMD K6 200) will have a 10
minutes bonus every hour; when they met a faster machine.
This is a compensation for the missing of 233Mhz cpus.
Majority of participants have pronunced by vote for this proposal.

I voted favorably.
This is a 'better than nothing' way to circumvente the advantage of
alphas engines.
ICCA officials were confused because they could'nt offer the promised
computers,
they offered a redress.
Difficult to refuse.
It is a elegant (democratic) way to transfer the problem towards
participants.

Hope others will give more info.
