Wow my 7 minute wonder somehow got on the private engine list. That's cool I guess.

De Hansdampf im Schnäggeloch hät alles was er will.
Und was er will, das hät er nöd,
und was er hät, das will er nöd.
De Hansdampf im Schnäggeloch hät alles was er will.

I was told it was a Book Win, was it? I have not had time to look at the game yet.

[Gian-Carlo Pascutto]

Depends on what you call a book win. White had a great position out of book, but black could probably have put up stiffer resistance.

Yeah, I just replayed the game. I would not call it a Book Win. Looks like it was just outplayed.

Glad it wasn't - I just think book wins devalue these and other tournaments when they happen, I like to see the ENGINE do the work, not some pre-prepared sequence of moves. Of course that is why I prefer chess960 to normal chess any day of the week.

With Rybka and some of the other strong contenders not there, Hiarcs stands a good chance of winning this tournament

Has there been any discussions to limit the book moves in these tournaments? What about a limit of max 10 moves or so?

They have a hardware limit, but the books should have a limit as well. I say let the engines play as much as possible.
