Is specialized chess hardware allowed? AFAIK, everything is allowed, as long as it automatically and doesn't involve a human. The CCT-rules don't forbid the us of DBs (I still like the idea of storing the opening book there :) and/or EGTBs. (in fact many (most?) amateurs use EGTBs in their engines) But I would ask Eugene for permission to use the EGTB-access code in your engine. (not for this tournament specifically, but in general) (he will most likely allow it as long as you're not going commercial, but it's fair enough to ask :) Sargon PS. How do you access the DB from your program? I fear some M$-specific classes? :)
