Go up one level in this thread
first of all i like to mention i support both rule modifications, but mainly the first; i may have missed some of its earlier discussions about this subject, but i *did* participate with my famous 1800Elo engine Djengis in CCT4, and this is what i remember There seem to be *two* different reasons to request kibitz by the programs: 1) its annoying when the program is not automated and someone request a restart because of erroneous move input; this delayed the time table in CCT4, but had no effect on the rating results 2) maybe some people could be paranoid about some amateur using Fritz or so instead of a selfmade engine, but this didn't happen sofar in CCT tourns as far as i know; but at least requiring the engine to kibitz will reduce the theoretical danger of such a 'frauduleous' case of happening. best regards, jef PS no thx wont participate this time, as i need a lot of time to improve my programming (my plans are to switch to pascal/delphi for an engine, it probably will save me some time in the future, although then i probably never will learn C++; but on the other hand, why shouldnt object pascal not as good as C++ ?
