The rules are state below:

• 2-3 days/move for us humans to decide on a move.
• 30 minutes/move for the computer to decide on a move.
• Chess Engine will be Rybka (Without Opening Books).
• Humans shouldn't use chess engines for analysis.
• Humans should not be allowed to consult opening books and/or databases.
• Two games will be played simultaneously (One with Black and the other with
White).
• Candidate Moves will be discussed and anyone who wants a say in the final move
needs to give evidence that their move is best (i.e. analysis or a positional
evaluation). All analysis has to be considered correct unless it can be refuted,
while evaluations of the position can be disputed.
• In case we can't come to a consensus between two or more moves, we would have
to have a vote.
• In case a tie still exists, we do a heads or tails for Tiebreak. I (System
Operator) will take the candidate moves give it a heads or tails tag, post the
choices in a password protected Zip or Rar file for download and release the
password once the vote is in.
