I've decided to run a small Hammer of Thor IV so that it finished about
the same time when Hammer of Thor II does. But also for giving the new
engines an initial rating. Hammer of Thor V will be the big swiss
tournament that IV was planned to be.

Web Publishing
Updates on the tournament after each game can be found here:

In case you don't know, I'm using a fix for the publishing
feature to prevent the engines for losing CPU-time.
I will post updates after each round, along with the games from that round.Martin Thoresen wrote:I found a temporary solution to get the GUI to publish only after each game and not crash/screw up the database:
Check the "Fixed time" button in the publish feature, then just set it to 50000 or another very high number (this equals 35 days).
Now the GUI will update after each game only, it will not crash, make the engines lose CPU-time or do anything else stupid. Enjoy!
How will the newcomers perform?
