I may decide to particpate

I will send you an email in the next 12 hours if I decide to particpate(I still
have more than 36 hours until the dead line if I understand correctly)

I have one question about posting main line and evaluation.
Suppose that my program fail high and does not solve the fail high and in order
not to lose on time it plays a move when it has no main line.

Can it post only the move and evaluation without principal variation?

Other possible problems is what to do if a program is using a different
algorithm and has no main line(it is not the case with movei but I think that it
is unfair to prevent programs who use different algorithms to participate).

A possible algorithm may be for example to give the program to play many games
against itself and use statistics of results to choose the move(it is not a good
algorithm but it is possible that someone has a better algorithm that does not
give a main line and I think that it is unfair to prevent that programmer to
participate)
