Subject: The next WCCC ....

Go up one level in this thread


Given that Club Kasparov and others are talking about human tournamments where
the participants don't have to travel, it seem reasonable to contemplate a WCCC
where the engines interact via the Web.

There's a nice project here to set up a robust event infrastructure meeting the
right requirements.

Some degree of invigilation or monitor-ability would be appropriate:  maybe a
rule that computer engines produce logs to some level of readability as proof
that they rather than an external agent thought out the move.

I'd also like to see the 50-move rule suspended where an engine can prove that
it is working effectively with the appropriate EG tables.

Does FIDE allow the tournament director/arbitrator to do this?

Btw, does anyone have the text and periods of applicability of past version of
the '50-move rule', e.g. the ones with all the non-50-move and non-k-move
clauses in?
