2455 Bison 9.11 [1c]The tournament is a double round robin (420 games total), and time Control will be 6 minutes + 4 seconds increment / move. The programs that support multiple cores are allowed to use 4 cores out of my 6 available. Hash is set fairly low - only 256 MB - for the same reason that 2 cores are unused: so that me using the computer while games are running won't interfere with the engines.
5 men Gaviota, Nalimov, Scorpio and 4 men Shredder TBs/BBs are installed and enabled for the programs that support them (except Minkochess, which often forfeited on time once a TB position was on the actual board).
I am using a file containing about 60 short openings (max 8 plies, but often shorter): https://www.dropbox.com/s/ft3oee8fubdp3 ... ariety.pgn - this file was created by taking lines that were played in at least 0.5% of games between 2600+ players (using the ChessTempo database), and for which Aquarium's CAP evaluation was within [0.00 - 0.22], i.e. up to 3 steps away from the root value. So, my hope is that this would give lines that are playable both according to human and engine opinion.
Suggestion for programs to include in future tournaments are always welcome :)4c
