17th Amateur Series Division 1

[Howard E]

Enjoying this tournament. Doch is impressive. Glad to see Dailey release this. Always followed the previous versions he and others developed in Rex Chess, Socrates and Kasparov's Gambit. The last one I owned back in the DOS days. Any idea of follow up releases of Doch. Also, what is the meaning of "Doch" as a choice for a chess program. Thanks Graham.

Thanks Howard. I'm not sure as to the reason behind the engine name.

Cheers,

At least, I have successfully predicted the approx. place of Cyrano

No new Hamster in sight?

No idea Harun. I hope that Alessandro is still interested in developing it further. Haven't heard from him for a while.

I'd like to see the same tournament with the 64-bit version of Doch, Spark, Protector and Crafty 23.1 !

I would run this tournament in December.
