On-line blitz tourney December

[hgm]

For lack of a better date where I am available, I want to schedule the on-line blitz tourney for this month on:

Sunday Dec 20, 3pm EST (21:00 CET)

I won't be there this time then. Hopefully in January.

Are there any info about this tourney somewhere on the internet?
Like, can anyone join in? Where do you play? What are the timelimits?

Note that it is an engine tournament. Here are the CCC threads I found. You can use the "Search" function too, of course

Now I feel stupid for not searching, but thanks

Not sure if I can make time, but I'll definitely join if I can. I'll play with my (very new and extremely bad) engine, Poor Little Pinkus.

Don't forget to be there tonight, guys!

What time would be this in UTC? What are the typical duration of this tournament?

[hgm]

What is UCT? The time corresponds to 20:00 GMT. Anyway, the tourney will start in 45 min. It typically lasts 2 to 2.5 hours.

Hi Harm Geert,

I was wondering, could you post the login-settings that are needed to connect to your server once more? I have made some attempts in the past but it seems to be unable to log in. I have tried so tonight.

This is what I have in a .bat file:

Code: Select all

D:\chess\WinBoard\winboard -ics -icshost 80.100.28.169 -icshelper timeseal -zp -fcp Brutus -fd "D:\chess\Brutus8XXX\x64\Release\BrutusVC.exe" -autoKibitz 

Winboard is working correctly. I am also able to log on to ICF with this:

Code: Select all

D:\chess\WinBoard\winboard -ics -icshost chessclub.com -icsport 5000 -icshelper timestamp

Do I need an account to log in? Please help me! I really would like to participate next month!

Best wishes,
Stephan
