Anyone know what kns Christian is getting in this tournament?
Maybe this is top secret.
This program is doing very well so far.

Brutus-Experimental

"The acronym FPGA stands for Field Programmable Gate Arrays, and the V405E
development system contains one of these. It is essentially a programmable chip.
Dr Christian ("Chrilly") Donninger is currently writing chess playing code for
FPGA use. The advantage is that anything programmed this way will run very much
faster than on a general purpose chip like the Pentium or Athlon".


"Due to the sturcture of the code you can add chess knowledge in any
quantity without slowing down the process. Chrilly Donninger has consulted all
the leading experts in the field, and he is also cooperating with a strong
Russian GM".
