Amy 0.87.B
Amyan 1.592 (question to Antonio if we should use 1.593b that seems to be a bit better even)
Dragon 4,5 CF
El Chinito 3.25 (I read in many postings that version 3.4c is better, I asked one of the authors for 3.4c (Eugenio)
Fruit 1.5 or 1.5 t(ralala) JR
Green Light Chess 3.0.3.4
Jonny 2.64

Testers for Queen and Rook Class are
Heinz van Kempen (with two fast computers)
Ralf Gülden (with two fast computers)
Brian Richardson
more testers welcome
Rook Class (third highest, deadline Wednesday night for giving new version or books)
so far it is voted for the following
The Baron 1.3.1b7
Terra 3.3B11
PostModernist 1010a
Arasan 7.4
Amateur 2.80
seven more to come here, I am awaiting votes from the testers that did not vote before. If I do not have them by tomorrow evening, I will draw lots.
Because of the high number of engines for this category, those who will not be elected will play gauntlets for better rating calculation and they will hop according to strength between Queen and Rook Class and between Rook Class and Bishop Class respectively.
Time given for deadlines is mid-European.
Best Regards
AEGT group

Or have I missed somethin?

Hello Christian,
seems that some emails from Olivier to you bounced back. I will send them to you. Please call me by phone if possible.
Valid is the table with exact time controls given by Thomas, according to Crafty bench.
Some testers were already fed up with so many discussion and finally want to start. Anyway there is more to come concering organizing:
List discussion, Crafty compiles test, how to coordinate results that everyone gives individually here, homepages for complete or partial downloads of games, etc..
Best Regards
Heinz

It whould be good to use the exactly same names for engines if we are going to combine all games in a single database.
The names assigned by their authors:
feature myname="Gothmog 1.0 beta 10"
feature myname="List 512"
Igor

Gothmog 1.0b10
List 5.12 (will play with no book, unless the author provides us with a book...)

Hello Igor,
can you please make a list in the next days and send them to all, so that all rename the engines if there are differences?
Best Regards
