man-machine team challenge

Post by Edoardo Manino » Mon Aug 20, 2012 10:04 pm

Hi everybody!
I'm proud to announce you that on 18th and 21th of September there will be a man vs machine team encounter in Turin.
The programs Chexa, Uragano, ProChess and Neurone will play two games against a team of four human players. To make the competition fair we invited players of different strength: IM Folco Castaldo, M Enrico Pepino, CM Tiziana Barbiso and the young first category player Stefano Yao. The thinking time will be 90'+30" with a bonus of 15' at the 40th move.
Some details might change (we are trying to invite another program and another human player); the page http://www.g-sei.org/prossimi-tornei/ will show the organization progress.
There will be a live watcher for the games on the same site.

@ moderators: if this thread belongs to tournament section, please move it

I will try to be there, as well as at the next Open in october.
Actually I would like to enjoy attending at the Open event, but I was forced to leave half finished my engine and I don't know if I will be able to find some spare time to put together what is still missing.
We'll see... :)

later,
ciao
