Hi All,

The match will be played right here. 1 move a day after the opening books are finished.

Mark will play with 1 mystery dedicated machine and Steve with another.

This Email has just been sent to all Forum Users:
Hello All,

Congratulations to Paul and Pavel for winning our latest contest.

Our next competition starts on Wednesday and is a little bit different. Mark Uniacke will operate 1 dedicated Computer and Steve Blincoe another. They will post 1 move a day each on the forum - with one hours thinking time per move per machine. To get things started an = out of book position will be selected.

There will be a few prizes on offer during the match for things like guess the machines being used. There will be various clues along the way and Mark and Steve will not know what machine the other uses. Other prizes may be given from time to time for things like guess the next move. You are also free to post analysis during the match from your engines.

Any questions please send me a PM on the server

Best Wishes,

Harvey
