18th Thueringer Computer Chess Tournament 28/4 - 2/5 2009

Post by Sebastian Boehme »

Dear chessfriends,

this year we will again see a Thuringian computer chess tournament.

It will be called the Rainer Serfling Gedächtnis Turnier (Memorial of Rainer Serfling).
Erdo will be there this year with Hiarcs, attempting to defend our last year's title.

The tournament will be held from April 28th until May 2nd.

For more information please go see: http://forum.computerschach.de/cgi-bin/ ... pl?tid=826

This site is in German though.

Kind regards,
Sebi

Erdo has designed this to go with the Rybka Killing version of Hiarcs he will use next week. Reminds me of the Nemo movie. There will be many Sharks in the tournament but only 1 Great White called Hiarcs.

One note about hardware - Erdo's new i7 did not arrive so he is using his old quad.
