You can play on a 386. You can play on a 4 CPU PII 450. You can play on a Connection machine with 16,000 processors running *Socrates. You can ask a GM for advice. You can make your own pick by scanning a database. You can play as a single human with a 1500 ELO [don't think you will last long]. What I am looking for is the *best possible* chess, from whatever source you can derive it. Single elimination: you lose and you are done. A ton of players -- 128 would be ideal. If I ever do stage a match like this it is more than a year away. I want to think about it carefully. I do everything slowly that way. If you want to incorporate some of these ideas in KKUP 3, that would be great, but I think that goal is different for KKUP 1/2/3: to find the strongest chess program. My goal is to find the strongest chess. See the difference? You could even use ten different programs along with a GM friend in my system. You just have to produce a move within 24 hours when it is your turn. But at your say-so, I will simply drop the whole idea. I don't want to try and _compete_ with the KKUP, which is a marvelous tradition, and which I fully intend to participate in (if allowed). Even if I do try it, it won't be for quite a while. I am just gathering ideas right now.
