2013 7th Annual World Computer Rapid Chess Championships

[Peter Skinner]

I've seen several programs with dominating material advantages that couldn't finish the game with mate falling into the 50 move draw.

Or programs that illegally castle, or crash when a certain tb ending is on the board yet doesn't in analysis mode, or that single bug that appears out of the blue and costs you winning a title.. I could go on..

These tournaments are an _excellent_ way to find issues and converse with other authors. If you haven't played in one, I highly recommend it. Great fun is to be had by everyone

Was finally able to get my ICC account sorted out. Might as well add Myrddin to the fodder list.

Anybody have any tips on how a spectator can view the matches? I have a one month membership and the ICC GUI (Dasher), but I am unfamiliar with how to view matches.
