Future Contests
Hello All,
Our opening competition is nearing an end and someone will soon be the owner of a nice new wooden £250 Chess Computer.
We are hoping to hold regular competitions on this forum for our members with some nice prizes.
If anybody has any ideas about the type of contests, the format they should take or has any ideas for questions etc please let me know.
You can post ideas in this thread or you can let me now by Private Message.
Best Wishes,
Harvey

Yes very good,
but this has then to be a position where our silicon friends do not immediately see the solution or maybe a game which can not be found too easily.
Or maybe one can mix it: once a easier position, once a more difficult one - and for the easier one it gives only an autograph from Harvey as prize, whereas for the more difficult one Mark could write an autograph
Jokingly regards,
Sebastian

Olá!
I have an idea for a contest. The forum moderator may give us an annotated game extracted from a book, and we have to guess the name of annotator and the book title. Maybe we can have two guesses: annotator name and book title. Game may come from an old or modern book, and players can be both human, or human versus computer or so. We have name of players, place and year of the game, but we have to guess the name of annotator and book from where the game comes. Well its just a guess and can be fun, at least we will have to look carefully to the game and the annotations!

Thanks. When time of the contest goes out, wins the first one who post correct name and book title, or if nobody found both, the one who guess one of them. Contest can have two winners: the first one who guess name and the first one who guess title, if nobody found both. While guessing, we could compare modern HIARCS analysis with old analysis in books, annotator style, and so.
