One thing I like to do on CCL is to play an NPS tournament in the tradition of the Crafty-Rebel event. This time with more games and not such a huge time difference, say factor 10. To some extend it will reveal something what you may expect from faster hardware the coming years and if speed is decisive. Is it? :) Say you play the NPS tournament, Program_X gets 4:30 per move, Program_Y gets 45:00 per move, both programs with permanent brain off. All six programs will play one game against each other. The program with 4:30 per move has always white otherwise the NPS tournament will take too long. The paring then would be: G5 - M7 N98 - H6 S2 - R9 M7 - G5 H6 - N98 R9 - S2 G5 - N98 R9 - H6 S2 - M7 N98 - G5 H6 - R9 M7 - S2 G5 - H6 S2 - N98 R9 - M7 H6 - G5 N98 - S2 M7 - R9 G5 - R9 S2 - H6 M7 - N98 R9 - G5 H6 - S2 N98 - M7 G5 - S2 R9 - N98 M7 - H6 S2 - G5 N98 - R9 H6 - M7 Say one game takes 60 hours = 2.5 days. 30 games will take 75 days. Using 2 autoplayer pairs the total NPS tournament would take 30-40 days which looks pretty acceptable to me. Interesting enough? Alternatives? Or better play the normal (10 game) 40/2:00 matches? - Ed -
