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. Assume we have 10 programs, each with their two most recent versions. This gives a total of 190 pairs. A set of three games (one at each time control) takes approximately 10min + 1h + 6h (worst case assumed), or let's say, 7h altogether. So we get a total of (190 matches)x(4 openings)x(7 hours) = 5320 hours. If somewhere I could find 7 CPU months to spare, I might organize such a tournament. Seriously, if you want to do this in a distributed manner, I might contribute. Sven.
