3rd International CSVN Tournament 16-18 May 2003
Leiden, Netherlands
This is an invitation to potential participants of the third International CSVN
Tournament a.k.a. ICT3, which is played on three consecutive days. With this
tournament you can keep in contact with other chess programmers and keep
momentum in the development of your program. The playing tempo will also be
reasonably swift, 90 minutes per player for the whole game. The playing hall
opens on Friday at 12:00am, Saturday and Sunday at 09:00am. Each day three
rounds are played. On Saturday there will be a break for the annual CSVN
member's meeting.
Here is information for potential participants. First some rules:
* Due to the financial state of the CSVN and rising cost it has become
necessary to require an entry fee of Eur 15,- per participating program, which
can be paid at the start of the event.
* Entry is open for all nationalities. CSVN membership is not required for
this tournament.
* The programmer, being someone who programmed at least a significant part
of the program must register as a participant, possibly together with other team
members, who have also contributed.
* The source code of the program may not contain pieces of published
programs, unless the authors are in the team.
* Legal use of end-game databases and opening books is not restricted.
* The participant arranges a computer by himself, so no equipment is made
available by the organisation.
Although not strictly required, we request the programmers to be present
themselves to operate their program and explain its background.
Please register by sending e-mail or ordinary mail to me,
mailto:thstorm@wanadoo.nl before April 20th.
I am interested in the following information:
* Name of the program and names, roles and presence of the team members.
* Names of all authors of the source code of the program Correspondence and
e-mail address
* Indication of playing strength
* Type of computer and number of processors on which the program is running
simultaneously
* Type of computer and number of processors on which the program is running
simultaneously
* Used algorithms, operating system, programming language and compiler
* Size of the program (lines of code) and the opening book (positions)
We look forward to your entry.
