Thanks to all participiants and specially to Ulf Lorenz for perfect organization and the great Hardware support from the University of Paderborn. Congrats to Stefan, Shredder won the IPCCC for the fourth time, i think. The strong Fritz close behind, congrats also to Frans and Mathias and to Uli and Daniel to archive the third place with Comet. A strong field - very exciting games, e.g. Gandalf (the unlucky) against Shredder. As usual the tournament atmosphere in Paderborn was very kind and friendly. It's very difficult for Ulf to organize the tournament and to prepare P.ConNerS. It's a huge disadvantage to have no original test environment. Ulf, Head up, next time will be better. I also feel with Stefans Matador. Very unlucky - some hopefull positions but no success. Matador is not so weak as the results suggest. Very interesting to meet Chrilly Donninger and Alex Kure. I believe Brutus has a great future - FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) seem to be very promising for computer chess, e.g. doing a complex eval in 5 cycles or so. best regards, Gerd
