Collector's Corner..Paris 07 Parings up

[Steve B]

The Paris 07 tournament scheduled to be played on May 27th 2007 now has the pairings listed...

the tournament in only its second year is already a much heralded event with French TV and Radio coverage at a frenzied pitch

the playing site will be in the beautiful Saints section of Paris where fine wine is as common as drinking water

a fine selection of strong computers will be competing with a superb representation of the legendary dedicated chess computer programmers

my predictions for the event in order of placing....

1.Saitek Renaissance Sparc(a win on tie breaks over..)
2.Mephisto Risc 1 MB

3.Mephisto Magellan
4.Mephisto Berlin Pro London
5.Novag Diamond
6.Saitek Risc 2500

Hi Alain

i appreciate the fact that Paris 07 remains dedicated to the principle that tournaments for dedicated chess computers should consist of NON-Modified chess computers..not a Pc Chess Card to be found in Paris 07!


one of the few oldies tournaments that adheres to this all important rule

i also like the fact that the finest Wine on earth will be flowing freely to all of the tournament participants!!



Fine Wine Is Better Then Beer Regards

Hi all,


of course i also want to give my predictions!

1.Mephisto Magellan
2.Mephisto Berlin Pro London
3.Saitek Risc 2500
4.Mephisto Risc 1 MB
5.Saitek Renaissance Sparc
6.Novag Diamond

In my opinion, every of the first four can win! But the Sparc and Diamond are always good for a surprise!

Robert

P.S.: but i must confess, that i sometimes drink wine too...

[Alainza]

Hi,

I'll put your predictions on the web.

Now about the wine, I am not sure that we will drink wine during the games (ok, may be between ) but I'll bring a fine bottle for the winner

Best regards,

PS : Robert, I think that a Bavarian will be present

Hi Steve,

not 100% true as our fried Eric announced to show up with an accelerated Atlanta with 24 MHz. Should he be banned now??

no, Eric will not play with an overclocked Magellan. He was a bit paniqued when the Berlin Pro entered the tournament but he will come with a normal Magellan.
