ACCA Challenge Match League

[CRoberson]

The ACCA has started a Challenge Match League. Any of the authors or accepted operator can challenge another on the list within +/- 4 positions.

The matches will be on a server of the opponents choosing. During these matches several of us will be online watching and chating. All are welcome to join in on the chat and the kibitzing.

Our first challenge is LearningLemming vs Prophet. The schedule (created as authors make and agree to matches) is posted at:
http://taccl.org/Challenge.html

The league was not created to produce a correct ordering of the programs. Its purpose is to encourage regular small events that allow us to gather, communicate and enjoy.

As stated our first challenge match is LearningLeming vs Prophet this Friday night March 30 at 8 pm EDT.

Our second match will be the next day Saturday March 31 at noon EDT. The opponents will be Arasan (Jon Dart) vs Amateur (Will Singleton).

Both matches will be held on ICC.

All those interested may join us and chat on channel 64.

If Symbolic is as strong as Mr. Edwards say it is then it should win without any problems.

Will Symbolic be ever available for us the mortals to test?

Symbolic (we're talking about the A/B component, not the "cognitive" component) is strong - but not that strong. On ICC he beats Prophet most of the time - but not always. It is weaker than the likes of Arasan/Amateur/Crafty. Personally, I think Symbolic will probably hold Buzz off since Buzz needs 2.5/4, but the match won't be one sided.

Buzz didn't get the 2.5 points required to jump Symbolic in the list. Now we wait for the next challenge. I believe Charles said Telepath will be challenging someone this week... either Parrot, or Lemming - but I'm not sure what the status of Lemming is now.
