"For those that haven't been keeping up with all the new processor launches the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 processor is the newest 45nm quad-core 'Yorkfield' processor. It is also the entry level 45nm quad-core processor, which means it has the lowest price tag!"

This is July 15. Only one month left before the tournament
and slightly less than that before registration closes.

Hi,


I'd really like to have entered but I can't - the one weekend in August I am away is the 15th and 16th! :(

Good luck, though!

That gives me two weeks to code the multithreaded search and another two weeks to get a distributed heterogeneous search running on the LAN. Oh, I better schedule a day or two for testing.

The bug manifestations will be spectacular. :D

Less than a month left for the tournament. Tournament registration is always interesting. Several register immediately and much later
(typically 3 weeks before or two weeks before) as many or more register. I guess some want to keep their participation a secret until late.

Some know for sure closer to the date. That is my case. I have all the intention to play, but I cannot guarantee it yet.
