Hi Stefan, >Sorry Reinhard, do you want to play (in the future) a tournament with the best >10 engines and all 960 FRC-positions??? Thats the only FRC-tournament, which is >no "Micro-FRC"... Will take 100-200 years, I think. And by the way: Each >tournament of engines (normal chess) with opening books or the >noomen-select-positions is only "Micro-Chess", because not ALL possible opening >moves are used...So all computertournaments (normal chess) in the last 20 years >are "Micro-Chess" and worthless??? >Perhaps you should think it over... a) like in normal chess, where you are not forced to play any thinkable opening, FRC lives from the challenge to be faced to surprisingly drawn openings. It is the situation, that any thinkable starting position may be possible, and the universal ability to handle each of them well. b) thouse tournaments are not at all worthless, but they are not at all qualified to elect an FRC champion. Regards, Reinhard
