wow...no draws, 0.5 differences in the middle, I think 4x round robin is even better.

cg to Pedro I guess Pedro also tests engines in blitz just like Tony. I'm only guessing.

PS: I need a logo for EPC and CCB, I'll try to design one. I want EPC to have a white background and also the black background, filled with smileys, empty green poker table(no cards,just participants), question smiley, idea smiley, and a prize cup, 3 sample engine names... Ulysses can you make one for me if you get time? Thanks I'm also trying to design, but I'm sure yours would be much better than mine.

Congrats Pedro. I think I'm going to keep this strategy even if I didn't get first place as every time I try something different I get worse results.

Of course. Can you give me more details about it, like the size it will have in pixels? And about the white and black background, does that mean that it goes gradient from white to black?

Thanks Ulysses for an offer , Either a black background or a white background would be fine, the content of the logo is described as in my previous post in the same thread. About the size, it can be a 450(width) x 90(height) attribute or enough to fit the post.

and for ccb, the yellow background(the same as the one in the googlepages site) and written text "Computer Chess Blog" with a fountain pen, along with the pen, is it easier?
http://computerchessblogger.googlepages.com/

I'll credit you, and use the logo in each tournament thread i create.

I'm having trouble trying to get all these to merge into a single picture...obviously I'm a newbie and can only find images and resize them, I can't make artistic ones.

This is what I came up for the EPC logo:



Tell me if you're unsatisfied so I change it

Here's the CCB one (Meant to be used as PNG):

Hi Swami, here I not make tournaments, my computer has very few engines installed, I use CCB past as a reference.

Also on this occasion I was very lucky, because I thought could win engines as Queen and Dragon. I was about to send another message and replace TCB and Snitch by another 2 engines.

This One is Excellent!! I would give it 9 out 10!!

Although I would have much preferred that the whole words be written straighter...and not be displayed with inclination and orientation at some angle

It's good, I would give it 7.5 out of 10 to be fair

If I should give a logo full 10, then I wish there was:

-small gif of players around the table in the area of all those smileys with smileys in between each players sitting, remove some smileys in case if there's no space to allocate. One of the players wearing a hat, one black, one wearing stylish tshirt, one caucasian wearing casual formal shirt, and a dealer in the middle (it could be a TD )

- engine names fonts could be smaller and to be ordered like this:
1.
2.
3.
and be visible somewhere where there is space.

- prize trophy could be little bigger.

-you could take space little more than 450 x 90 to make way for all these suggestions. But the size should not be any bigger than the one with "CCB"

- And there need to be italics bold black caption of "Make your predictions!" underneath the EPC.
I hope it's not much ask.

Other than that it's almost perfect! Thanks Ulysses.

No problem, I'll make the revised versions tomorrow
