Or same code and a very special random number generator. See who pays most for this world champion title. OK it is not FIFA but a title helps to sell your software.Uri Blass wrote:Or perhaps we should require them all to have also the same code to see who has more luck.hgm wrote:Uniform evaluation would also help, to see who has the best search.
Or perhaps we should require them all to have both the same search and evaluation, to see who writes the fastest code!

9. Tie-breaking: (a) if precisely two participants are tied for first place, two play-off games of one hour per side are to be played. At the longest, such a match may take four hours. Should that match be drawn, then one sudden death game should be played (White 12 minutes, Black 10 minutes); (b) if more than two participants have an equal number of points, a tie-ranking order is defined as follows. The dominant ranking is by the sum of the opponents’ scores. If there is still a tie, the sum of the respective programs’ cumulative scores after each round (i.e., score after round-1 + score after round-2 + …. + score after last-round) will be used; (c) the two participants ranked most highly by the tie-ranking order in (b) will then play off as in (a). An analogous tie-breaking procedure applies for establishing the second place and, if necessary, the third place.Code: Select all
