Subject: American Chess Programs vs European Chess Programs

I was browsing the website for the North American Computer Chess Association -
http://homepage.mac.com/chessnotation/events.html

.. where I came across an event to be held in November 2004 - Annual Beat Europe
Computer Chess Competition . It started me thinking if there were even any
quality American chess programs to match European chess programs, apart from
Crafty. I was surprised to find quite a few:

1 : USA ( 37 )
Alex, Amateur, Arasan, Bace, Beaches, Betsy, BigBook, Chad's Chess, ChessRikus,
Crafty, DChess, DeepTrouble, Dorky, DrunkenMaster, EXchess, Fimbulwinter,
Gerbil, GnuChess 4, GnuChess 5, Horizon, Jester, Kace, LTK, NoonianChess,
Parrot, Plywood, Pooky, Puslar, ROBOKewlper, Simontacchi, SlowChess, SSEChess,
Storm, Tristram, TSCP, Usurper, Zotron.

.... you could browse those from other countries at this site -

This should be quite interesting then, if the event were to go ahead on November
4. I think the Europeans will hold upper hand, with Ruffian, Deep Sjeng, Delfi,
Gromit, Comet etc. They seem to be quite ahead of their American counterparts.

Cheers,
Rick
