Hello! Because of the positive feedback to the last tourney I'll start another tournament this year, too. Michael Schiklang will assist me with the organisation. We have a little <A href="http://www.team-oh.de/index-e.htm" target="_blank">Website</A> online on which you get all information about the tournament. A little summarisation: - The tournament is themed "just for fun". I hope that all participants will behave as fair as at the CSS-Online-Masters. There were only few moments when arbiters had to interfere. - Starting date: 04/15/2004 - 11 rounds of Swiss System - time controls: 90 minutes plus 5 seconds increment per move - maximum number of participants: 24 - game interface: playchess.com (Engine room or special tournament room) - every program can participate only once; that effects different versions of the same program, too (except TripleBrain) - minimum hardware: CPU with at least 1,5 GHz or matching rating (for example Athlon 1500+) - The operators can arrange with each other for the games. One game per week should be played. A new drawing / pairing will be online every thursday evening normally. - Here is an uncomplete excerpt of the participants so far (these programs are already assigned), like visible on the Website: HYDRA (FPGA-Spezialhardware) Deep Fritz (8x Xeon 2,8 GHz) Shredder (2x Opteron @ 3,3 GHz) Deep Junior (8x Xeon 2,8 GHz) Hiarcs (Athlon XP @ 2,2 GHz) Gandalf (Pentium 4 3,06 GHz) Deep Sjeng (2x Athlon MP 2800+) TripleBrain (2x Athlon XP 2400+ / Athlon XP 3200+) Chess Tiger 15 (Athlon XP @ 2,5 GHz) ... ... All is possible in a 11 rounds tournament. Any program can win. And it will be thrilling to let your program fight against the "pretended favorites" on great hardware (for example Fritz and Junior on 8x Xeon 2,8 GHz). There are still 3 more free places for participants. Some great engines are still searching for an operator, like Anaconda, SmarThink, Delfi, Comet, Goliath, Ktulu...
