Subject: Arena Question and Tournament Info

Hi, there would be a total of 50 engines participating in my tournamnet and one
of them is Anaconda. I will be manually playing its moves through the Fritz GUI
to the Arena GUI, but there's a "small" problem. When I select "Add Player" in
Arena, I name it "Anaconda 2.0.1", the problem is, when I play the games (me as
a human) on Arena, I always run out of time (while playing Anaconda's moves) and
the other engine wins. Is there any way for me to have "Infinite" or 10 minutes
more of time to select in Arena (or as a handicap)? (Of course, Anaconda will be
playing at the same time level as the other engines.)

Ok, so it's decided! Here are the 50 engines that participate:

Abrok

The tournament will be on the Arena GUI, Round Robin 4-rounds (yeah, the
tournament will probably last about 1-2 months). Blitz 5+2 and Arena's mainbook.
Hardware: AMD Duron 1.0 ghz, 256 mb ram. Tablebases: NO! Why? Because this way
we will see the engine's endgame performance.
Last Info: If some author of the engine's above wants to send me some betas or
some parameters to try in this tournament, or want so specify me the protocol in
which it will run (UCI or WB), don't hesitate to mail me.

The tournament starts in a week, for me to get ready!
