Swiss System Tournament. Edition II.

[Sergio Martinez]

In order to give the authors enough time to prepare their versions or send me their engines, I announce that the next edition of this tournament will begin on March 14th.

The conditions are the same as in the previous edition. I ask you to send me the versions a few days before the start of the tournament so you can try them out. Otherwise, I'll use the latest stable versions I own.

Thank you very much.

Conditions:

- GUI : Arena 3.51
- Swiss system tournament. The engines will be divided into groups of 80, the first five divisions, and the rest into the promotion group. Ten engines will gain automatic promotion and the bottom engines will gain automatic relegation except in the promotion group that will promote 20 and therefore 20 other engines will be relegated from Group E.
- Time control: 40/4 (adapted to the CCRL benchmark). I will surely run, after this tournament, another Swiss tournament of 40/40 adapted to CCRL.
- Ponder off
- Threads : 1
- Default hash=256Mb,
- Endgame tablebases: Syzygy -- Nalimov -- Scorpio Bitbases -- Gaviota ---64Mb hash
- Resign is set to -5 for 3 consecutive moves where able.
- Updates will not be allowed during each tournament (each division)
- Open to all Winboard and UCI engines (free, private and commercial).
- The similarity tool will be used to determine whether or not an engine can participate (Engines allowed until 70% of moves match).
- Results will be rated only for engines already in the CCRL lists.
- All engines will use the same opening book limited to an 8 move depth.
- Engine authors can either post their wish for their engine to participate or contact through email (sergiomg24@hotmail.com) or private message. I will choose engines by myself too.
- Entries will close a few days before the event starts.

Hi Sergio,

This version is better than 0.09.8 cause have check extension but time in time (I think around 1 in 50 games) crashes.
If you do not mind about that possible crashes, I prefer you use this instead of 0.09.8 that not crash or 0.10.0 that time in time crashes too:

Soberango 0.10.1

I´m working trying to find the bug but not sure if I´ll could find it before tournament start.
