Hi, I don't know if the following has been discussed before around here, so I try to expose my idea ! I have been reading CCC since the beginning and RGCC for 2 years, and I could see that many people do computer-computer tournaments. We can read dozens of match results and hundreds of games. I think that now we perfectly know the Top 10, and we know that they are about the same strength (less than 100 Elo points difference), so why not trying another type of tournament ? Chess programs have different styles : they don't treat positions the same way, they don't "understand" chess the same way, so why not thematic tournaments ? For example, how do they deal with the Ruy Lopez ? Which one is the best Scottish player ? Which one defends best against the King's gambit ? I'm sure we could have interesting results. The point is not to have another war about strength, but to have a better idea of the way computer chess programs deal with different type of positions : it is a very rare subject here. It was just an idea... Jeff
