AEGT---group of testers (update)

[Heinz van Kempen]

Geschrieben von:/Posted by: Heinz van Kempen at 22 July 2004 18:43:55:

Hi all ,
Will Singleton and Ralf Gülden join to the group of testers. Will does not want his engine Anateur in at once, (what moreover would not be possible at this time, because the first groups are already fix) and wants to test in B. To authors of the private engines there (Snitch, Spike and Cerebro) I will give a list of all addresses from testers, so that they can send them their new version that will be hopefully ready this weekend.
More testers are welcome at any time and would make possible more games and engines in, but must accept our rules and conditions that we are busy fine-tuning these days. See AEGT---A and B post a few days ago.
Testers (organizers)
-------------------
Master Class or A:
Olivier Deville
Igor Gorelikov

Pedro Eckmann

Simultaneous gauntlets (for "in-between group")
Heinz van Kempen (third computer)
Ralf Gülden
possibly after the initial tournaments also others will help
Best Regards
Heinz

Hi all ,
tomorrow morning I will give the final versions we voted for in Master Class and Higher Class (A and B). Authors are then still free to give us other (stable and already tested version!) we could opt for. I would also like that Olivier would give this versions, because I only coordinate and I want that people are becoming aware that this is a common tournament, what anyway will finally happen, when we all post our individual results that will then be combined.
Just wanted to add that we only would need two or three more new testers to form another group from the "in-between engines". We could call this group "Superior Class" or anything. Names are not fix already, only my proposals. "in-between engines" are those that also received a lot of points from votings.
Amy
Amyan
Dragon
El Chinito
Fruit
Green Light Chess
Jonny
King of Kings
Little Goliath
Movei
SlowChess
SOS
Ufim
WildCat

Such a tournament would be nicer and more suspense than running gauntlets. Twelve out of this group can be chosen from possible new testers. Two others are needed to hop between the groups (via gauntlets) for better rating calculation later.
For interest in testing please write to hvankempen@web.de or to the email of any of the other testers.
Best Regards and thanks to all for their interest and help
Heinz
