Good luck! I predict that a lot of draws would happen between the strong hardware participants anyway

Wish we had more of these games for collection.

Thx for the info.
When will the games start? And will there be a live transmission like for the main event?

Well, the website provides not much information, does it? (Or I'm not smart enough to find it...)

I am shocked to see there are only 4 participants.

[Edsel Apostol]

Why is it that there are only four participants as there seems to be a lot of protests before on having the hardware limit? They seem to be afraid of losing. For this reason I admire the author of Shredder for joining almost all major competitions I'm aware of without afraid of losing, unlike Fritz for example.

It would have been much better if there's a lot of other participants like Cluster Toga, Zappa, Thinker, Diep, Crafty, etc.. It would have been more exciting.

By the way, good luck . I'm cheering for Deep Sjeng on this one. Spoil the Rybka domination.

[Gian-Carlo Pascutto]

Reportedly Joker and Pandix also join, unsure about their hardware.

Deep Sjeng: 56 node cluster

Hi Giancarlo

Will there be a Cluster Sjeng version commercialised?

Thanks

Marc

Sjeng lost. This Rybka is a monster.

I'm curious to see the PGN with depth and score information for both sides.

Hi Marc,

I plan to make this a feature of Deep Sjeng 4.0, yes. But I think there is still much work to do both on the engine and on clustering. It will be no point to be able to gain 150 ELO with a cluster if Rybka 4 is 200 ELO stronger.

(Well, there would be a point for me, but less so for customers)

Will a cluster version also use better the Threads like on a core i7 cpu?
core i7 = 4cores/8threads.
