Carlos, another question: What does Bobby Fischer mean to you?

Regards Tom

Hi Carlos,

nice to read this! There is just a little problem:
Ruud Martin likes to join this tounament with Revelation Hiarcs 13. At the moment he tries to put this engine into the Revelation and cannot promise to be in time. If he does, you cannot play the main engine of Pocket Fritz 4, because this is nothing else than Hiarcs 13 too and i do not allow an engine playing twice. Therefore i recommend to look for another engine. If Ruud cannot play with Hiarcs 13, you are the one to take it over. Hope this is fine for you?

As it concerns the HTC Diamond / 528 MHz, it would be nice to receive some informations about this device. Maybe you can take some photos while it is running your favourite engine? Have a look at the "Mapi" tournament from 2008, where you can find lots of informations about computers, engines and users, participating this event. I'd like to perform an equal presentation for the new tournament pages.

I will update the tournament list within the next 24 hours and you will find your HTC listed.

Have a nice weekend,
Wilfried

Hi Tom:
Bobby Fischer has been the player most chess has become popular throughout the history of the game, and I think is the best player of all time, by the struggle and ultimate victory over Spasky alone, is, that I only see this great player on the chessboard. I love chess and Kasparov and has surpassed his achievement. Like many geniuses, eventually escaped from reality.
Greetings
Carlos

PS: Dear Tom, my opinion on Fischer will only refer to chess chess.

Thanks Wilfried, be seen that Ruud does Martin. What exact day the tournament starts?
Carlos

Hi Carlos,

there is no fixed schedule for this tournament. I want to start on the second weekend after our 7th Online-WCC ends. It seems, this Online-WCC might end during the next few days, but still there is one match without schedule (Sparc vs Roma). Therefore the PDA tournament will either start on April 2nd, or at least on the 9th. I will announce the fixed date as soon as possible.

During the tournament, one or another operator is going for holiday. As i don't like any time pressure, everyone should be patient - this event might take a while to come to its end.


Have you already joined to www.ischach.net? I need your nickname for the tounament list.

Hi Wilfried, I do not know, still well how the game program, but I got the pasword:
Nick: bfischer

Hi Carlos,

the chess client might be hard to use, if you don't have enough english skills. There is no way than to try around. Maybe we should meet on the server and i will try to explain the most important functions. Unfortunately i cannot do this before next Saturday, as i'm usually not at home during the week and therefore only get little time for internet.

In my opinion it is most important to use the client software and not the applet. You should download and install, if not already happend. Further you should register for "Fairplay" at the servers homepage. This option allows you to chat during a game you are watching. Registered members get "-R" for "registered" behind their nicknames. It often takes some time, before the webmaster follows your request - maybe a couple of days! Fairplay means, you don't cheat with computers help, because this is a server for human players only. But we have permission to play our little chesscomputer tournaments in the chess room "Gigaliga".

Usually we play "unrated" games during computer tounaments, because the one or another chesscomputer friend likes to play human matches on this server and got a rating there. Because the server keeps care on time, it is important to set a long time level. I prefer 600+0 which means 10 hours and is always enough for our 30s/move games.

For now that's enough. I have to prepare for my job.
Regards, Wilfried

Wilfried well.
At the moment I can already play and talk with humans, although I like to play with the computer screen, and I already explained the special room for the machines.
Thanks
Carlos

PS: To discuss the game while playing and I fix it.

without "-R" you cannot chat with other viewers (only with your opponent)

but IIRC this is the only important restriction; and if you can live with it, then it should be ok...

regards,
Robert

Hi Robert:
I've only spoken to the opponent.
I did not know of this restriction and proves to talk with others.
Thanks
Carlos
