Wow. I live quite close to Breda. If I would have had a 3200+ engine, I'd probably have submitted it. Right now my current testing version is at least a 1000 Elo below the ones listed

And... The King? Is that engine still in development, except for running on the Millennium hardware? Didn't know that.

Well, Spartacus is only 2300 or so (and single thread), and last time Single Malt was similar.

I can highly recommend the event. Participating is far more worthwile than winning.

Remote possible?

Yes, via the (free) teamplayer software.

Hans van der Zijden once did for me.

Works great.

Note that this is not really appreciated by the organizers, though. This is mainly a social event organized for programmers to meet each other and exchange ideas. Having remote programs operated by people that don't know zilch about them is not really helpful for fulfilling this purpose.

So it is only done when circumstances demand it. E.g. if there otherwise would be an odd number of paricipants, or so few participants that the entire tourney is in jeopardy of being cancelled.
