Mine maybe some day, but not anytime soon. The only reason is that it would require a usability overhaul which I don't have interest in working on, so I postpone it. You can play against my program in the cloud if you're interested. I don't see you do that
Thanks Marcel
I didn't know that I can play it in the cloud till now....
Will do when I have the time regards,

I expect that Jan will put up the official results shortly.
It was a very enjoyable event with a lot more programmers present than the last couple of times. (Actually, all 12 where operated by the programmer themselves, which we encourage.) I hope we can continue this trend up. Next tournament will be in May or June.
Spartacus was broken, which is kind of strange, as it is the same binary I used on some 5 earlier occasions, and I never noticed anything similar. But today, in two games where the opponent thought very long and played the expected move, Spartacus replied instantly. In such cases it is supposed to play the reply to the expected move that it found in the very deep search it could do while it was pondering. In stead, it started the search from scratch, and reached only depth 8 before (after 0.1 sec) it moved.
This depth (with LMR and null-move reductions) was not enough to see any significant tactics. So the move was essentially random. In the first game (against the King) this blundered away a Queen. In the second game it was checkmated (from a +1.3 score on the previous move).
