960 Turney on Playchess

Post by IWB »

Hello

On Sunday the 20th of September at 11.00 Servertime I'll try to make the first 960 Enigne Turney on Playchess!


7 Rounds with 30 Minuten/Game no increments!

If there are more than 14 players I will play 9 Rounds!

ALL 960 capable Engines are welcome - if the Engine can play 960 is in the responsibility of the Player (Engines where I know that they cant play propper 960 will not be included!)

This is a short and for sure inclomplete list of Engines I know to play 960. Please fell free to add Engines!

Shredder
Fritz960
Rybka960
Naum 4 FRC (FRC is important)
Sjeng
Bright
Hiarcs
...
And many more!

Please check in advance if you version can play 960!

Here you can find a short description how to set up your 960 Enigne on playchess: http://talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... hlight=960

I hope that many will come and wish everyone a lot of fun

Chess960 Tourney on Playchess finished

Hello all

The first 30 min Chess960 tourney is finished:

http://80.237.188.80/rooms/chess960comptourn.htm

It was really tight fight at the end. We had 5 leading engines after round 6.

Congratulations to Thomas with Naum 4 FRC - the Engine still rocks!

Even if 16 participants are not too bad I hope that next time we will be more!

Bye

Hello Ingo,

Well I certainly want to participate in these, but I lack the playchess subscription to be able to do so.

I am going to see if I can somehow scrape together the funds to buy Fritz 12 single CPU, which will come with a 12 mth subscription as long as I get the genuine chessbase one. If so, I'll be there at some point in the future
