Any programmer, especially those of NOT having commercial versions,
is invited to help me bringing his program to its best.
i will let the programs play 15 rounds swiss-tournament on 2 x k6-400 Mhz
machines with both 64 MB ram.
If both programs support autoplayer, the game will be outplayed over-night
using the autoplayer.
i would like to use crafty and anmon under fritz-user-interface, to make it
more convinient for me to use.
I am not sure which latest version fritz6 supports, so i ask for advice
if possible (frank Quisinski and Bobs advice welcome :-))
maybe junior5 will be replaced by junior6.
vincent has not send me his version but he promised to do it the
coming week-end, so i will wait with the diep game in the first round...
Wchess and Zarkov will be used in the MCSystem, i hope this is ok.
(if programmers have complains about this, please tell me ...)
Hiarcs, Virtual-Chess2, CSTal2.03, Junior, CM6000, Genius6.5, Nimzo,
rebel, fritz6, mchess, shredder are all commercial versions, so it should
give no irritations in using them.
Rebel-Tiger is the soon released windows version of Tiger12.0-DOS.
Christophe , what is the nation-indicator of guadeloupe ? is it
F for France or whatever code ??
Any time, any programmer is allowed to complain or to help to make sure
his program runs almost optimal within normal ranges of course.
if any programmer does not want me to use his program he can email
me, i will consider about my decision than.
The idea is to measure older and later programs against each others in a
tournament
that tells us about HOW the programs play. Since i am doing 15 rounds and also
40/120 time-control, it should be good conditions for the programs.
all games will be posted in PGN.
please - this is only a fun tournament. i am doing it because nobody
else tries a 40/120 tournament on 2 machines.
anyway - i would do it because i have always done these tournaments
for my personal interests in the prg's.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i want to begin as soon as possible, thank you.
best wishes,
Thorsten Czub
