Hello all out there! Sorry for the delay in reporting from our tournament, but I had some problems in getting access to the internet after upgrading my computer. Rebel 10 won the tournmant without loosing a single game! Hiarcs played well, but was perhaps a little bit handicaped, because the hardware of the Hiarcs 7 "Bauer", K6-333 was out of order and crushed several times. But step for step: We played a seven-round-swiss system tournament with three hours each side for the wohle game. Every operator was allowed to change level or the internal clock three times a game to prevent time trouble. Other influences during a game were not allowed. We tried to let start each program in his newest (strongest?!) version and let start each one TWO times! So we got 14 games of each program, which gave a good picture of their abilities. We made one exception for Nimzo 3,5, because the operator was making many additional programming by "Che" and it was promised to him in our last tournament, that he could use Nimzo 3.5 in the next one. In the final ranking you find names for differing the computers in the tournament, but the games are commentated with the hardware specifications.

All participants were in agreement, that Rebel 10 played the best chess and won well-earned! We were a little bit disappointed by the play of Nimzo, Shredder and Junior, who were not playing as excepted... Hiarcs, Fritz and some others played well, but in this strong field nearly every one could win... Positive surprises were: Zarkov and the new Chessmaster! Here is this ranking: 1. Rebel 10 10/14 2. Fritz 5.32 9,5 3. Hiarcs 7 8,5 4. Nimzo 3.5 / 99 8 5. Chessmaster 7,5 6. Zarkov 4.3 7 7. M-Chess Pro 8 7 8. Virtual Chess 7 9. Junior 5 7 10. Shredder 3 6,5 11. Chess System Tal 6,5 12. Genius 5 6,5 13. Kallisto II 6 14. Gandalf 3 5,5 15. Tasc R30 Vers.2,5 2,5 More you will find next days in the CCC or I will answer you, when you have more question.
