Whoops, I mean July 2, 2017, 9:00 am The Netherlands time.

[Norbert Raimund Leisner]

Hello,

what are the exact versions of all participating engines and are Ziggurat / Jonny / The Baron freeware or private chess programs?

Can you tell me the email-address of David Norris, please?
My approach to david.norris@verizon.net was rejected:

The website http://davidcnorris.wixsite.com/ziggurat/downloads contains obviously no working download links.

Best wishes,
Norbert

Have you already checked the RWBC site?

Shredder won the World Computer Software Championship which is played on equal hardware. To me that is the real World Championship. Jonny and Komodo are equal 2nd.

With no Houdini and no Stockfish...it's a hollow title whomever wins.

one more demonstration this championship is fully useless, as Komodo is certainly way ahead of Shredder in terms of strength.
