Chatting does not seem to work on my computer.
Don't know if I am going to Leiden this week. Have seen enough computer chess games. Or is there enough to see there for visitors ?
Well, I am there. And Evert (on some days). And of course Johan de Koning.
If you come Tuesday afternoon, you can see Chinese Chess and Go (and Amazons?) If you come Wednesday or Thursday you can see mini-Shogi and Go. And lots of other stuff. (I think Saturday there will be Draughts, but I left the schedule book in Leiden.)
I'm on the train now. I managed to improve SjaakII significantly overnight (two changes that score over 70% against their former selves, so we'll see how it goes today).

I didn't know that way is possible.

Hi Daniel,
The streaming desktop is nice. However after some tests it seems it does slow down Maverick by about 20%. I'm surprised by this as Maverick is only using one of the four cores on my Intel i7. For this reason I'm not doing this for the other rounds.
Steve, if it's easy to set up the broadcast maybe you could show Mark/Ergo how to do it and they could broadcast Komodo's games. They're using a remote engine so the slowdown of the local machine wouldn't affect the engine.

Hi Jesse,
I did speak with Mark. I don't think there is enough time to get it sorted out for this year. He indicated it's something he's open to doing in the future!

Hi Fern,
It's certainly fun. My big takeaway is that I can learn so much from playing *slow* games against strong opponents. They magnify the (many) weaknesses in Maverick.
