Hi Ola. Thanks for running this tournament. Is the sunsetter 7e binary you're using the one from http://sunsetter.sourceforge.net/download.html ? It's doing very well.

Yes, that is the one I am using.

Sunsetter is ahead, but all three top programs are doing quite well.

Thanks for letting TJchess support Loop Chess - that is the variant I personally prefer out of the (Crazyhouse, Loop Chess, Chessgi) spectrum.

Had another forfeit from Feuerstein, making an illegal move that ignored it being in check.

Also had the first draw of the tournament... between the top and the bottom programs:

If anybody is interested in the pgn file, feel free to contact me.

Next up will be Berolina chess (in a week or two). I'll start its own thread for that closer to the time, but these are my preliminary participants:

Fairy-Max
Nebiyu
Sjaak
ChessV
SamChess

I'm open to suggestion for what to run after that - see the initial post for a list of alternatives - my spontaneous leaning right now would be either Shatranj or Nightrider chess.

Ferdy · Post by **Ferdy** » Fri Jan 04, 2013 4:23 am

Thanks for the tourney. Yes please send the games to the email in PM.

I will be releasing in 2 days a new engine to play berolina chess variant. I intend to join in that tourney you planned.

Great! The more, the merrier (well, within reasonable limits at least).

Carlos777 · Post by **Carlos777** » Fri Jan 04, 2013 5:07 pm

Thanks for the tournament. I'd like Spartan and then Gothic and/or Capablanca Chess after the Berolina tournament.

Best regards,
Carlos
