Perhaps the organizers in Mainz can be persuaded to include a computer championship as well, possibly concluding with a demonstration match between the computer champion and the human champion? Probably too late for this edition, but might be a good idea for next year. >I know some of the servers support it, so there's our battle ground. I'd prefer a world championship to be face-to-face, but any tournament form will do to increase the number of FRC engines. A server tournament may be even a better way of accomplishing that goal as it makes it available to everyone all over the world. >We need a date, not too soon though as interested programmers should have a >chance to implement it. I propose in 6-8 weeks, in the late summer. A month should be more than sufficient. Implementing FRC takes only a few days when you know what to change. An overlap with the tournament in Mainz should be avoided. >How people choose to support it is up to them, they can change their GUIs to >send FENs rather than make the change in their engine, if that is what they >prefer. > >What do you think?
