With the current debate going on regarding use of computers etc in cc games, I am interested in running a freestyle tournament on here for those that are interested.
Also, as we have the pgn viewer back
Basically with a freestyle tournament (almost exactly like the playchess ones) anything goes. Computer engine use is allowed, databases are allowed. Tablebases are fair game too.
As I said anything.
If you want to play as a team together, just send the team members to me by pm and tell me your team handle.
Will start after we get enough numbers (if there are enough numbers).
Feel free to start debating.

Count me in - I'll have to get a chess engine first though
So what's your excuse? For running like the devil's chasing you?
See you in another life, brotha.

You could play without one, might be a bit painful though

Maybe I won't need the engine to finish first after all Originally Posted by ggrayggray

May be interested in the near future but not just yet - need to get some more work before I can commit myself to serious timewasting.
Will let you know if I'm available when that happens.

I welcome an Idea of such a tournament.
Any Melb players would like to team-up with me?

If we can get another couple of entrants, then you will need to get the engine Originally Posted by Boris

I would like to play in this and get it started, so how many are interested? So far we have I think-
1) me
2) Glenno
3) Kevin Bonham (subject to free time)
4) Michael Baron ?
5) Boris (if he can get an engine)

it is a freestyle tournament, so anything goes. You can use your own judgement to 'help' the engine along if you wish. Originally Posted by Boris

Mate, simply get yourself a copy of Arena (for free) http://www.playwitharena.com/, and any of a dozen excellent, free UCI engines (e.g Rybka beta, Fruit, Toga, Spike). Any of these will be at least 500 points stronger than Fritz 5.. Originally Posted by Boris
