CCT 12: Only three days left to register!!

Post by Peter Skinner »

Hello everyone,

There are only three days left to register for CCT 12.

The reason for this is to ensure that all participants have had ample time to test their configuration before the day of the event.

I believe that all registrants have their accounts, so please message me on FICS (Iwonone is my name there) or email me if there are any issues.

All information is updated on the website as well.

I was kicked out of Chapters because I moved all the Bibles to the fiction section.

Please not that a special CCT12 version of WinBoard and XBoard will be available, which is n principle equal to the latest stable version (4.4.2), but with fixes for all known bugs in the latter.

This version is already available from http://hgm.nubati.net/WinBoard-CCT12.zip , (sources from the git repository there, latest 'snapshot'), so you can test with it. It will also be extensively tested under field conditions in the on-line blitz tourney this Saturday (Feb. 13, see other forum section for details) on my own ICS, and if any bug should surface there, they will be fixed as well before the tourney starts, and the fixes will be announced here.

You are of course all invited to participate in this testing, especially of the chat windows, message colorization, autoKibitz, etc. The more participants we have, and the stranger the things they try out, the more thorough the testing!
