Hi all , needing more suspense I am proposing to the CEGT testers to start CEGT leagues now with the additional hardware. My suggestions will be: - three classes with 20 engines each and CEGT time control (40/40 2Ghz), four demoting and promoting. Rank 15 and 16 will get playoff matches against position 5 and 6 from the lower class for being promoted/demoted. Alternatively these engines play a mini tournament for promotion/demotion. Classes will be build according to the CEGT rating list (standing Saturday night). One version for each engine (an exception might be Fruit and Toga) - in the highest class we will include the best Chessmaster setting recommended by the experts (Graham and Ray Banks, Jason Kent etc.) and either Fruit or Toga or both (depending on votes of testers) - updates are possible at every time within the tournaments when the engine version replaced already has more than 500 games in CEGT rating list - any GUI can be used when possible (depending on participants) - I will calculate how many tournaments will be run. Each cycle (including all three classes and a promotion tournament for the third class) should last three or four months. All classes are run simultaneously. Engine authors who want to replace their engine (when it already has more than 500 games in the list) please write to (betas can be included if the majority of testers agrees) hvankempen@web.de Additional testers as always are welcome to help and can write to the address above. It will surely be a great event with statistical significance. http://www.husvankempen.de/nunn/ Links to other CEGT testers sites: http://www.cegt.de (german) http://uk.geocities.com/bloodhound66@btinternet.com/index.htm http://www.beepworld.de/members46/rainerschach/ Best Regards Heinz
