New User: Silly Question!

Hello,

Long time lurker, who has just signed up to the forum!

I have an engine that I have created and would like to enter a tournament, are there any amateur tournaments around?

Kind regards,

Freddie

Announce your engine here:

http://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=76209

Put a working executable somewhere accessible (preferably for more than just windows), and if you have the source code open, post it too (so people can look at it if they please to, or compile it if they need to).

Make sure that the engine either supports UCI or XBoard protocol.

And I am sure someone will pick it up and test it, and give it a few weeks, you will see it participating in tournaments (for a level that it belongs to )

Thanks, that’s great! I’ll do that sometime soon, bit busy at the moment.
