Chess Programmers Tournament 2009

[pijl]

Already 10 participants have registered for the Chess Programmers Tournament 2009 in Belgium. It will be held on February 14-15 2009 in Hoogstraten-Wortel, Belgium.

The main condition for participation is that the Programmer has to be present during the tournament. As we're playing on a holiday farm with very nice apartments, the travel time from bar to bed (and vice-versa) is limited by the time you need to climb down the stairs to the ground floor where the apartments are. Food is also included in the registration fee.

It is still possible to register. See for details on the links below.

Good to know that the program is still active. I'd be interested in knowing if the author is planning on the UCI version.

Good luck with the tournament, Richard. I'll look forward to it.

I strongly second your statement Swami and wish you and Richard the very best with your tournaments

As he wrote to me, he will participate for fun and meeting a couple of friends again. The version that he will be playing with will probably be a quite old one. But who knows ...

I am tempted, since it is so close to where I live. But I would have to be back in France early on Monday. What time is the end of the tournament on sunday ?

Hi Rémi,
I guess there is no problem to drive home Sunday evening, say at 8pm.
Would be great!

Cheers,
Gerd

At 7.00 pm the end of the last round is scheduled, but your game is most likely finished before that.
It would be great to have you here.
Richard.
