... played by CSS and their Readers, mainly on P4-3.0 and faster with ActivChess 10-20 Min./Game (Fischer) given Noomen-Select-Openingmoves; each played with Black and White, based on around 130.000 games. Check it out here http://www.beepworld.de/members39/computerschach2/bff-liste.htm Btw. please don´t forget on Dec. 1 the 5th Online-Masters 2005/2006 begins! It is organized by CSS and its readers! It will be conducted in a special tournament room on the Fritz9 Playchess server (www.schach.de). Most participants are using the Fritz interface, which allows engines to play automatically online against each other. Most likely the tournament will go on until late February. 30-35 participants which were entered by users are competing in 4-5 groups of 7-8 programs. Level: 60 minutes per game + 15s per move (fisher-clock). Double round robin, which means that each program will play 12 games in any case. 16 programs will qualify for the next round and will play against each other, the winners will play the quarter final and so on. The one who gets 2,5 points first joins the next round, so 3 or 5 games are possible. In case of 2,5:2,5 both will play 15m15s games, same procedure, “2,5 points” wins (then “first win”). Last years winner was Deep Shredder on Quad (with Hydra User Zor Champ from Abu Dhabi- could he defend its title?) , Sjeng did it 2003 and Christian Goralski with Gandalf6 in 2002. Stefan Kleinert (CM8000) got the title 2001/02. Will the brandnew Deep Gandalf 7 get the title it again? Or will Zappa on a Quad Machine be unbeatable? Or Junior on Quad? Or Deep Diep on Quad? What about the brandnew Fritz9? Or Loop List? Or the new topperformer Fruit? A lot of Players are using the very best hardware so the Masters will be the strongest and biggest computerchess-tournament ever played. Some brand new beta-versions like Deep Gandalf or Zappa will play the very first time in public. May be Hiarcs 10, too. In summary over 150 games will be played until we know who will win the Online-Masters. The winner will need more than a bit of luck to win this tournament, it has to be a real champion. And there will be a special price for the non-top-single-engine or oldie, too. The “marked engines” will play their own (quarter-), semi- and final-games. Have fun! ** Every long weekend ** every evening ** from Thuesday to Sunday ** Live **
