This is a (more detailed) repetition of the price announcement, made on April 5, 2004 in "Chess Thinkers Forum". Please, help to spread the announcement. ***************************************** *** Palestine Chess Programmers Price *** ***************************************** To motivate Palestine programmers, I set up a price (with three levels): (1) 1,000 Euro for the first Palestine chess programmer whose baby gets more than 2,200 rating points (equivalent to SSDF scaling). (2) 1,000 Euro for the first Palestine chess programmer whose baby beats an Israeli program in an ICGA world championship. (3) 1,000 Euro for the first Palestine chess programmer whose baby gets 50+ percent of the points in an ICGA world championship. Time limits: End of year 2007 for level (1), end of 2009 for level (2), end of 2011 for level (3). I feel that "proper" definition of "Palestine chess programmer" is not easy. Therefore, in the price I make the following artificial definition: "Applicants have to be Arabs, and they need to have permanent residence within 34° and 36° East, and within 28° and 34 ° North." Details on request from althofer "at" minet.uni-jena.de Legal measures are excluded. (In German: "Der Rechtsweg ist ausgeschlossen.") Ingo Althofer. *************************************************** --------------------- Comments --------------------------- (i) Leo Dijksman is willing to help with testing for the 2200 level. (So applicants do not need to have their programs in the SSDF list.) (ii) Amir Ban has written already in early April 2004: "... The day that Arabs decide to equal or better Israelis in competitive and intellectual achievements will also be the day the conflict ends." "...I'll double the price" (iii) Peter Berger has also offered help. ---------------------------------------------------------
