To put the onus on a programmer and judge his work by how he does against Rybka is grossly unfair to that or any programmer- and there are some fine ones out there. So here it is. With apologies to Leo for being a copycat, you have a Premiere Division. To play in this division has one requirement only. You can be either beta or non- beta, but you must be a version of Rybka. There should be plenty. Next comes Division 1. In this one you have Naums, Zappas, Shredders, Hiarcs, Fritzs and Loops. And i would most likely give a nod here to also Glaurung, and of course the Togas. Now you get the picture. We have a hell of a horse race now. Something to discuss over the water cooler at work, the coffee shop , evne over a few beers. Which is No.1? We will start Division 2 with maybe the Ktulus, Chess Tiger, SmarThink, Sloppy, etc. Beginning to get the picture? Now this thing is up for grabs. Im excited even- and not much excites me any more. Hell, it's great.............

Why not make it like the classical human chess world championship? A series of qualifying matches to see who gets to play Rybka

Hmm- i like that idea. Leave rybka out till the very end. Now we are talking. Thanks for that input, and welcome to CCC.

You do not have to call the premier division, premier, you could call it something that sounds awesome instead. My weakest division is called.

Here are my division names

Premier - Manipulator Prince (32 engines)
First - Fight for the Light (24 engines)
Second - Xiaolin Showdown (24 engines)
Third - Hidden Ninjas (24-30 engines)
Fourth - I didnt name it (30-35 engines)
Fifth - Battle of the poor (all the rest, usually around 60-70)

Why does the 4th division gets the coolest name?
