if and when Ray is ready to start i think its appropriate to ask Matthias to pick the next random 960 position from the same site Ray linked to in the last game
sort of like the engine author of the last game passing the baton to the next engine

in the meantime ..the Mystery Dedicated is going through heavy training exercises under heavy "media blackout".. sequestered away in a fortified secret location ..all in preparation for when the game is handed over to it and an easy "mop up" for the win

lol

I'm ready, I just wasn't sure what we had decided on

So we'll go ahead with Ufim chess960, with the mystery dedicated taking over after the castling phase

If Matthias would give us the opening position number and FEN, I'll get it started tonight or in the morning

:P
well i guess the Mystery Dedicated takes over when both Ufim and the CCC Team castles or until castling is no longer possible for either side?
otherwise the dedicated will not be able to consider castling as a possible move for either side
this could spell disaster for the Computer team ..where as we stand now ..the computer team is a heavy early favorite to win going away
but i will relay your remarks to the dedicated
Things heating up regards

perhaps.. but the dedicated might or might not be the same machine as in the first game ..
only myself and Ray know the identity of the MDC(Mystery Dedicated Computer)
one thing is for certain..it is very powerful and a proven winner
i will say no more..

Computer team gets white i believe?

1-0 Regards
