It was a very frustrating day as far as setting up the games between Amatuers
Engines is concerned. Either it was my fault or it was crappy UCI protocol under
Chessbase or the engines was just not compatible et all, but the engines keep
quiting in the middle of the tournament, and with the whole day with only few
games done with the tournament manager frozen, I decided to quit.

I don't think neither Anmon of SOS or Pharoan are as UCI compatible (or runs as
good) under UCI as YACE does, with YACE I had no problemo et all.
So I have decided to not add half compatible engine, and make it a pain in the
neck during the tournament.

SO instead of a playoff among TOP amatuers I had to make a decision of choosing
the most popular(stable) strong engines.

These are the engines that are going to play in the tournament.

1) Shredder 6
Hash tables: 128 MB
Book: Shredder6.ctg

2) Chess Tiger 14.0
Hash tables: 128 MB
Book: Tiger.ctg

3) Fritz 7
Hash tables: 128 MB
Book: Fritz7.ctg

4) Yace 0.99.60
Hash tables: 128 MB
Book: Own Book (biggest book downloaded from YACE website)

5) Crafty 18.13
Hash tables: 128 MB
Book: 2600.ctg


Each programs will play each other 100 times.

TOP 3 Professional vs TOP 2 Amatuers.
