The last round can begin. Below the pairing, which gives some strange pairings due to 14 participants in 9 rounds. News on Larry: He had surgery this morning and this went well. He spoke with Don on the phone a few minutes ago and Larry was in good spirit. The last round starts with a rolling thunder outside as the weather goes a little bit bad. Harvey just fell of a chair, but the game did not start…
The pairing for the round is known and the programs are started already. Only the web team does not have the pairing yet. But it is worked on. The Baron plays a curious game against Almond. And Almond hangs in a very bad position, The Baron wins. We’re discussing “what is a clone” again. For a tournament organizer it is very difficult to tell how to detect a clone. In our tournament the TD is allowed to ask for the…
Well, an early start on the Sunday morning for our participants. See the pairing below. The games have started, except for the Spark-Almond game. The Spark operator is not yet in the playing hall. Further bad news is that our special guest Larry Kaufman has been hospitalized this morning. We try to get news about this as soon as possible. Fun: Tessa, Richard Pijl’s daughter, is ordered by her dad to bring the coffee for him and Harvey. We also…
Round 6 has started now. Rybka goes in lead and the chances of winning the tournament gets only bigger as they had already most of the strongest programs. There is already a gap of 1,5 points with the runners up, Deep Junior and Deep Sjeng. Now the 128 core battle takes place: Rybka vs. Deep Sjeng. And the battle is won by …, surprise, Deep Sjeng! Probably a bug in the cluster software with Rybka. And another surprising result is…
The arbiter Rienk Doetjes is currently putting everybody in the correct place. The pairing will be shown here in a short time. Please let me finish my lunch. Games up to round 3 are now online in the download section. As some of you might have seen on the photos, Komodo is always playing in the bar. This has nothing to do with being close to the bar. The network cable is not longer, therefore their location outside the…
Like last year we have this year also a “team event” to make the tournament more fun. The participants are split up into 3 teams which the organization thinks are about equal in strength. Two teams of 5 and one team of 4 participants (results multiplied by 5/4). The winning team will get a price. R1 R2 R3 R4 R5 R6 R7 R8 R9 Totaal Team 1 24,5 Rybka 1,0 1,0 1,0 1,0 1,0 0,0 1,0 1,0 1,0…

Een beetje laat aangezien uw verslaggever door omstandigheden een dagje in bed heeft doorgebracht in plaats van op het toernooi. Maar hij zal dat vandaag proberen goed te maken met tekst en foto’s.
