On-line blitz tourney July

[hgm]

It is already time again for another engine blitz tourney! The best time seems:

Saturday June 10, 3 pm EST (21:00 CET)

This will be a good opportunity to test your on-line setup for WCRCC, so don't miss it! (Who cares about third place anyway? )

[tano-urayoan]

The announcement should be Saturday July 10.

P.d. Will you miss the third place game even if Holland is playing?

[hgm]

Oops! Of course:

Saturday July 10, 3 pm EST (21:00 CET)

[Mincho Georgiev]

Great, I'll try to be there.

This is the first time that I personally operated RomiChess for an online tournament! Anyway, this time Romi had no book, however, learning was on and had an effect during the tournament. Before the next event and every event thereafter I will play 1,000 games or more against other engines and their books. This will be a good experiment to see how effective Romi's learning can be. Just for fun!

[Michael Sherwin]

I am leaving RomiChess online here 24/7 (if that is okay) if anyone would like to help with Romi's learning they can make a challenge. Also Ray Banks has some engines logged in and we both would like more people to participate!

[Michael Sherwin]

I guess 24/7 is not okay. Ics has kicked me off.

The server has a time-out period of 10 hours (idle time).

You can use the WinBoard -keepAlive option to thwart that. (e.g. -keepAlive 60 would send a date command every 60 min, which would be enough to keep you logged on forever). Of course you might still be logged out due to a disconnection; occasionally my router crashes, and needs to be reset; I am not sure how that affects people logged on to the ICS.

[Michael Sherwin]

Okay, thanks!

I will be back on when my 10 hours is up.
