Notes

Heinz asked me if I could run a tournament for CEGT involving 6 of the top
CM10th settings and 6 of the strongest others.
I agreed as I can see a purpose in getting a meaningful comparison, both in
seeing which CM settings perform best against other programs and to what degree
this comparison can also be seen in their games against each other.
My goal is to find the CM setting that is most consistent taking both of these
factors into account whereas others will have different preferences.

Some will say having so many CM settings in such a tournament is pointless as
one or more are bound to do well. However there are conditions involved here
that will sweep this aside as nonsense for this tournament!
All are using a common book and will play each opening position reached from
both the white side and the black side.
Each participant will play 10 games against the other.
In other words, I think that this tournament will be very meaningful!
