In Computer chess, tournament is a rarity, So I support having more online computer chess tournaments, It's fun and useful.
a tournament called 'friendship'?!

If honoring Fischer is the idea, e4 c5 /Nf3 d6/ d4 cxd4/Nxd4 Nf6/ Nc3 a6/h3!? may be a better position. Not many games have been played with h3 and opening books won't be a big deal.Marc Lacrosse wrote:I have some doubts regarding this project (and even more doubts if the chosen opening is a Najdorf variation).
Either you allow opening book use and the tournament will be a booker competition more than an engine one (even more in the Najdorf : please do take into account that there are more and more frequently games that go to a forced draw at move 50 without leaving the book : this is daily experience on Playchess!)...
.. Or you forbid book use (tournament played from a given startposition without book) but how could you enforce this rule for an online competition ? False PV can easily be recorded for book moves and could not be differentiated from real interactive PV ...
I am not sure this is really a good idea.
Why not simply revive Skiner's CCT and CCTblitz tournaments ?
My two cents

However, engines may play horrible this position.
