Subject: Oldie-Fans! How about a nice ... tournament!

Hello all,

a few months before there were the idea of a computer-chess tournament
with old chess computers or programs. Unfortunately this idea wasn't
realized ...

Now here is my new suppose for a tournament.

1. Everyone is allowed to let start (program or computer), whatever he
want, WHEN it was built before 1985.
Exceptions can be made for "well know" weaker programs.
-> My very personal opionon is, that we must not know, which
program/computer is the best, this is done by the swedens! So we can
give a little advantage to everyone, who wants this!

2. The time should be flexible, but not much longer than 24 hours,
because the tournament must go on!
3. Moves are send by e-mail or here in ccc
4. New participants can either added to the tournament or play in a new
one. It's no problem to let start more than one program/computer for
some of us (I hope!).
5. When this is wished I will make the organization (pairings, solving
problems etc.)! But I have no experiences in this.

Please let's do this time! Any other suggestions are welcome.

Karsten
