More informations:



  		•  In case there is a tie for first place a playoff round will be
    held sunday 27 of January and start 4:00PM server time.




  		• If a program disconnects he is giving reasonable time to connect
    again (a couple of minutes). If he fails to do this the game will
    be forfeited for the disconnected program. If a program disconnects
    more that three times during one game it might get forfeited.




  		• It is unfortunately impossible to guarantee that every program will
    get exactly five/six white and five/six black games. Therefore,
    no protests about one program getting more black than white games will be
    taken into consideration.



  		• Only the author (or co-author) or someone pointed out by the author
    is allowed to participate in this tournament. The author is
    responsible for the person pointed out.



  		• As for the hardware, you are free to use what ever you want.
    It would be impossible to try to get all participants use the
    same computer-power and to make sure that they do.






  		• Only original programs are allowed and ABSOLUTELY NO CLONES. Most
    programs are pretty well know by the Computer Chess community and
    therefore if brand new, unknown program appears I will consult
    other people to decide its entry in the tournament.
    ICC reserves the right to decline any application for this
    tourney.
