4th Computer Chess Tournament

Posted by timothy on from the what-about-computer-speed-chess dept.

An anonymous reader writes: "The 4th computer chess tournament is being held online at Internet Chess Club over the next two weekends. Over 50 chess programs are involved, from commercial engines to amateur homebrews. Most will be operated by their authors. Details at CCT4 homepage. Last tournament (CCT3) there was live commentary by titled human chess masters. If you're a fan of chess or computer chess programming, login to ICC this weekend as a guest and watch the action."

  1. Will they be printing out move-lists... by Ieshan · · Score: 3, Redundant

    I think it would make it wholly more entertaining if they printed out move-lists and provided a viewer which reproduced the moves, say one or two a second.

    It'd make the games more interesting to those of us who actually play (and don't just code chess), and it would get the public involved (can you picture a CNN short on this without having any sort of visual representation - it's the only way it'll get coverage!)
