I would like to suggest what I think would be a most intersting and informative system for a chess computer tournament. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! 1. All the new top programs. 2.Their previous versions. 3.Preferably, their previous last TWO versions, in fact, (but at least the previous). 4.All play all, either 8 or 16 games x3 (each for 5 minute, 30 minute and tournament timed cycles). 5. If 8 games x3 each-each program would have one Q-pawn opening, one K-pawn opening one books off opening! and one Fisherandom, both as white and black which is 8 games. 6.Or twice that.(the "books-off" can be started off once with d4 and once with e4. And the books on, can be "directed" a little to come to games of two different natures for each of the two d4 or e4 games. 7.Whether the 8 or 16 game all play all arrangements are made, it should be 3 times that much. Once for 5 mins. Once for 30 mins. And once for 40 in 120 Mins. games=altogether 24 or 48 games for each program all play all. 8.All on equal hardware. If anyone can arrange such a tournament, I think it would be the most informative as well as the most entertaining system such a tournament could ever be! I can hardley even see a rating list to be of more interest than such a tournament- so can someone PLEASE do it, or very similar (if you can find any improvements). With deep analysis, not only of the games themselves, but of the exact results and the natures of the results, I think a lot of conclusions or strong indications can be seen. Any opinions? Anyone able/willing to do it? S.Taylor
