personally i think the Excel Display would make the games more interesting as i can then report PV's from time to time during actual game play
if Gm Uniake prefers the Excellence Voice then i insist on French as the language
very pleasant on the ears..if you ask me
Pick Your Poison Regards
Steve
Hi Steve,
I have sent a link to your questions to GM Uniacke and am awaiting a responce. If the French language is used I insist that Alain be seconded to the Hiarcs team to ensure fair play.
The excel display does sound interesting. I doubt Mark will mind which you use but will await his reply.
Picking our Poison Regards,
Harvey
ps we picked our poison - the excel display sounds fine!
Let the Record show...
Excel Display
only details remaining...
What level for the ED?
number of games and who gets what color ?
tidying up loose ends regards
Steve
Hi Steve,
Why dont you chose a level - then I will ask Mark to pick one he thinks appropriate to challenge you with.
I guess to start with 2 games with reverse colours. I think 10th June is fine.
i think level 7 which is 15 seconds a move on average is best
the game will take about 30-45 minutes combined for both sides
and with two games being played that brings us to an 60-90 minutes worth of play for one sitting
Hiarcs to get White in game one
can i ask you
what version number of Hiarcs will the Excellence be playing?
or shall we call it...Hiarcs Olympiad Regards?

Hi Steve,
Level 7 sounds fine we are happy with that - We will set to G/15 which is about the same I think?
As for what to call your opponent it is Hiarcs 0.7 - playing on the machine previously described if all is well when it is retrieved from the Uniacke storage facility.

yes Game/15 will be the equivalent to Excellences 15 seconds per move avg
HOWEVER ..Hiarcs 0.7 should be RESET every 10 moves or so to allow a full 15 minutes each reset..thereby giving it a full 15 seconds per move to ponder on each move
otherwise it will be moving very quickly if the game goes for 60-70 moves or so and not pondering even for 15 seconds because it will "think" it is going to lose on time
hopefully Hiarcs 0.7 can have the level reset during the game?

Hi Steve,
Does your excellence come with an opening book? I wonder if 0.7 still has the book it played the olympiad with!?
I hope that WCCC coming soon is played with the same fairness that our games gave all been played with.
These should be a real high quality games regards,

Hi Steve,
the equipment has been retrieved from storage and will be tested tonight. If all goes well its game on for Sunday morning. Mark thinks there is an opening book stored on the machine.
