I don't understand why there has to be money in it (also 50$ is too much). With that amount and the openness of the tournament (for everyone,with any hardware etc), it sounds more like gambling than a computer chess tournament. If the aim is to have an alternative to ICGA controlled WCCC (which I support), make it only to engine authors,bookmakers or anyone who is allowed to operate the engine. Otherwise the one running houdini on biggest hardware wins! So I , as a programmer, am better of improving houdini if I want to participate ?!


This is not meant to be an alternative to the ICGA event. This is purely a competition for _everyone_, author or not. Computer, human, or centaur.

People who initially sent emails about the event wanted a prize fund and suggested the $100.00. I've lowered it to $50.

There is a prize for the best amateur in the event...
