Well we have about 5 Hrs To Go To Tc and there are 3 votes to declare the game drawn
The votes are from the core team players who have voted each day ..move after move ..and without whom we would probably still be back on move 15
Unless we see 4 votes to continue the game in the next 5 Hrs(from players who have voted before) the game will be declared drawn and i will unmask the identity of the MDC
If you vote to continue the game please do so with the intention of participating in the game on a daily basis going forward as it would be a bit absurd for someone to vote to play on and then not vote for future moves
News At Noon Regards

Re: The Third Forum Game
The Game is declared a draw
http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopi ... 608#300608
Congrats to the Forum players who have drawn with the strongest Mephisto dedicated chess computer ever released for sale..
The London 68030
At 3 minutes per move The London Modules have an Elo Rating of 2302(Selective Search)
during the match i let the computer think on Avg.about 6-8 Hrs. per move ..sometimes a bit less and sometimes a bit more
so i would imagine that the actual strength of the computer the forum faced was probably somewhere between 2350-2375 perhaps even 2400
Just recently a London 030 sold on Ebay for over $2100(1480 Euro)
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... 05153.html
i would like to thank all those for participating in the game with a special thanks to Ray Banks who introduced many of us to the great format of Chess960
Happy Holidays To All And To All A ..
Happy New Year! Regards
Steve

especially coming from you ..The GrandMaster of organizing and running Dedicated Chess Computer Tournaments
the real praise though belongs to the forum players who showed up each day to vote for moves
in fact they had more patience then i did because they were here from move 1 whereas i only joined the game at move 11 after Ufim had Castled
during the first 10 moves i was goofing off playing with the Peri Epsilon...
