 This tournament would be amazingly interesting (for me), if the time control
wasn't so fast. Although the hardware is fast, i don't think the results would
be significant at a time of 5 minutes per 40 moves.
 I understand that there are 51 participants and the tournament would be double
round robin, so you would have to play 51*50 = 2.550 games, a huge number, but
in this time control many games (i would guess 30% or more) would not end due to
engines Chess abilities but due to luck.

 Also you can add an engine to be able to play 26 versus 26 and not having 1
engine out for every round.

 Anyway thanks for your great tournaments.
