Timo Klaustermeyer asked for my permission to operate Critter at the tournament. I even sent him a new (unpublished) version of the engine.

That is quite funny as we refused to give permission so to punish us they gave us the worst hardware - lol

I am quite sure that they don't need a permission to participate in a hobby tournament.

It could have been worse. Sitting somewhere in my basement is a Dell Dimension with a P4 @ 2.4gHz and 256MB of DDR SDRAM....

When is Windows HIARCS 13 coming Some of us don't have Macs you know....

I assume from looking at the hardware/engine pairings that these programs are not being run with the sanction of the engine authors. Instead, it is just a few computer chess fans getting together and competing using engines they either own or downloaded. Is this correct?

you are to be congratulated Richard
i followed the tournament closely, and think Critter played extremely well.
it's clearly not an engine to be taken lightly

Congrats Norman & Richard. Both of your engines did a great job in Thüringen. Lets hope we will see more of that in the upcoming events
