Subject: Tournament page from the IPCCC 2000 in Paderborn, Germany !

Hello,

I visited the webpage and I get a shock !

User can find all informations about all programs in english.

Example:
Sorry copyright, I know that but I am the Patzer BEARER for the monitor and ...
(Leiden 98, 99). Other people say operator or tester :-))

Patzer:
Patzer uses the standard alpha-beta PVS search, enhanced by hashtables (4
retries replacement scheme), recursive nullmove (R=2) with verification if only
one piece present, special pruning heuristic for ALL-nodes, various extensions.
It also uses a special material hash table to adjust the material balance values
for certain endgames where the "usual" values do not apply. It values king
safety and passed pawns rather high (too high?). It is a incremental bitboard
program with attack tables that are also used during move generation and
sorting.

This is the best tournament webpage which I visit in the last years. A great
event and I am hungry of the results.

Fantastic work !

Regards
Frank
