19th Amateur Series Division 5

[Graham Banks]

19TH AMATEUR SERIES (Division 5)

Intel Q6600 Quad Core
ChessGUI
128mb hash each
3-4-5 piece tablebases
Ponder off
HS-Large Remis book (limited to 12 moves)
40 moves in 32 minutes repeating (adapted for the CCRL)
4 cycles 44 rounds
All engines 32-bit 1CPU

Due to some engines being ineligible for the next series unless new versions come out, the top four engines will likely gain automatic promotion and there will likely be no automatic relegation. The fate of the fifth top engine and the bottom engine (perhaps others also) are likely to be determined by grading matches before the next series.

Thanks Edmund.
Because Glass won so decisively, I'll play a grading match to see if can jump two divisions.
I have a grading matches thread in CCRL public, so once the match has been played, you'll find the result and pgn in there.

Cheers,
Graham.
