Due to the positive feedback I got from the participants this year, I will probably organise another tournament next year. To improve the distribution of the tournaments a bit, it will probably move to the february/march timeframe. I hope a few more programmers will make the step to join next time.

Richard.

Do you know the hardware, Richard?
Just to confirm: Stefan played with Shredder, not Deep Shredder, rigth?

I am curious about your program CTD. Is it private?

Thanks,

Congrats to Gian Carlo, Once the newer version is out, no doubt it will be 2nd in comp chess rankings list.

Better Hurry Up and claim the spot before other strong engines get updated, Gian Carlo!

Probably the Deep version is used. it's just the program's name thats displayed.

CTD is private, once it is stronger than The Baron, then Richard might consider releasing it or so I have heard but I'm not so sure!

Btw, Never heard of the engine 'Hansdamf', It drew with Shredder?! Surely an interesting new rising star.
