2439 Naum 2.0 [1c]That's the 21 participating programs - the ones at the bottom at the end will get knocked out and not be part of the next round.
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 generally 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, Syzygy, and 4 men Shredder TBs/BBs are installed and enabled for the programs that support them (except those where TBs would sometimes cause crashes or problems).
I am using Lyudmil Tsvetkov's 2-move book (http://talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=50382) with the 3 extra positions, 1003 positions total, and with the return game using the same opening.
Suggestions for programs to include in the future are always welcome
