Lowly Dallas

Post by Dave C »

Hello Michael,

I have a Dallas 16bit if you still have a space available. Maybe Dallas is too weak?

What is the tournament schedule like? Begin on 12/01 and then?

Regards,
Dave

sure - you are welcome! :D

Dallas 16bit ELO is 2004 according to the schachcomputer.info Wiki, 186 ELO points below the strongest - let's see how it performs during the tournament. As long as you want to participate (and you do!) it's ok for me!
Dave C wrote: What is the tournament schedule like? Begin on 12/01 and then?
No fixed schedule - like the High Performer Tournament - you make your appointments according to your personal calendar and I think within two (to three) months we are through with 42 games - Christmas holiday is coming...
Remember: It's a double round robin tournament!

Update:
Helge: Portorose 16bit
Nick: Almeria16bit
Walter: Lyon 16bit
Steffen: Berlin 16bit
Michael: Vancouver 16bit
Al: London 16bit
Dave: Dallas 16bit

One more Regards, Michael

Hi Michael,

Are we all going to set them up the same, i.e. style, book etc, or is it up to the operator?


Cheers,

Al.

Withdrawal

Post by Dave C »

Hi Michael,

Unfortunately my schedule will not allow me sufficient time to play in this tournament; so I must withdraw the Dallas. :(
I look forward to playing in the next tournament.

Thank you,
Dave

I think you probably saved yourself a lot of pain Dave
with about a 150 Pt. Avg .difference in rating between the Dallas and all of the other Lang engines there was a good chance you would not have taken even one game(perhaps one win Vs Portorose)
remember everyone is playing with the same Lang engine.. improved over a period of 10 years..with expanded and improved books...its not like you were playing with a different programmer's engine where there could a chance to take a game or 2 given the large gap in ratings

Major Heartburn Averted Regards

Hi,

here's the tournament table for the first round:

http://miclangschach.de/hiarcs_tourname ... Round.html

Remember: There will be a back round and I will publish the tournament table for the back round soon!

You can start now; make your appointments and have nice games...

Please post your game appointments in this thread - anybody who would like to watch the games can do so.

I already made one game with my Vancouver against Berlin/Steffen - I'll post it later!

Regards, Michael
