Hi,

You can make your appointments now - be aware to post the game dates beforehand, to enable others to watch the game on Lichess. Take care of the time difference! (For Nick: UTC=Universal Time Coordinated=Greenwich Mean Time :P ) You do not have to play your games in order; pick what is suitable for you and your opponent!

May the best win!

Following the updated tables:

Hi Michael

I am a little confused(normal)...

Steffen plays with the MCGE-King??
this module(Tasc) is not released yet
this is a prototype ....or he is using a PC engine version of the King via Bluetooth??

BB King Regards

Ahhh a Prototype

Steffen is a good man..a true collector
should be interesting to get a first" taste" of the Tasc module
perhaps history in the making
I imagine if the prototype does not start out well in the tourney .. Millennium will intercede and demand he withdraw at once

High Stakes Regards
Steve

Looks like the strongest chess computer tournament ever played?

We will see what the King will show. I love the engine. But with such strong competitors the outcome will be a question of coincidence, too.

Well I am still a bit confused of why we are using a time zone for Iceland. :?

Is there anybody here from Iceland playing?

Best regards :P

Yes...for me it will be very interesting to see the results and I will try to watch the matches

however..i need your solemn promise.. in front of all of these people

1)IF the MCGEK performs poorly... you will still play each game to the bitter end and complete the tournament schedule and you will not yield to pressure from Millennium to forfeit for any reason
2)there will be NO sudden malfunctions of your Prototype causing you to quit the match
3) there will be no power outages caused by hurricanes,tidal waves,earth quakes ,bolts of lightning or other acts of God causing you to quit
5)medical reasons will of course be acceptable but only if accompanied by a note from a licensed Physician

Signature Required Regards
