From November 26 - 28 the 30th Dutch Open will be played in Leiden. The tournament has been held for 30 years in a row now, I guess it is one of the few (the only?) computer chess tournament with such a history!

Rybka will be playing in Leiden to defend her title. Here is the preliminary list of participants:

:lol: It looks like a very fair match up! Lukas Cimiotti cluster, 200 Intel Nehalem cores, 2.93 Ghz and up, against...What? :yell:

Deep Sjeng is the main competitor there I assume, I bet that game against sjeng decides the tournament :)

It's probably more likely that the tournament will be decided by record against the weaker members of the field, where any draws will be very costly. This makes opening preparation avoiding deep drawish lines of paramount importance.
Parent - By Felix Kling (Gold) [de] Date 2010-11-10 18:15
There won't be draws. :lol:

I agree with this: last time we beat Rybka but it wasn't enough. Now the field is quite "thick" so it will be even easier to drop half or even full points along the way.

Deep Sjeng may well have a large cluster :wink:
And there may be more entries yet ?
Parent - - By Jeroen (*****) [nl] Date 2010-11-12 08:41
Jonny will probably have the largest cluster, in the WCCC in Japan it was playing on 800 cores.

That's insane! How do you transport these things around!?
Parent - - By Jeroen (*****) [nl] Date 2010-11-12 15:32
You don't. It is sitting in the university and you use a notebook in the playing hall with a remote connection.
Parent - - By sarciness (***) [gb] Date 2010-11-12 18:15
That sucks! I want to see two mega-beasts of machines, sitting opposite each other, glaring at the chessboard, with their tape-decks rolling, printing out their moves on a built-in dot matrix printer!
Parent - By keoki010 (Bronze) [us] Date 2010-11-12 21:57
I haven't seen a machine with a tape deck in a long time. :surprised:
Parent - - By Labyrinth (****) [us] Date 2010-11-12 22:06
Nah, it was in Japan, so they'd have to be giant robots :razz:
Parent - By sarciness (***) [gb] Date 2010-11-13 11:25
Yes, the Japanese have a love for giant robots with missle launcers stapped onto them! My thinking is that Rybka Cluster would crush those missiles with it's mind!

Tape decks?
We prefer punched cards and drum memory :lol:
Parent - By keoki010 (Bronze) [us] Date 2010-11-14 16:54
What about fan-fold tapes and toggling in loaders for same? With 8K ram and 32K discs?  :smile::smile::lol:

would love to see Rybka run on 2048 cores:lol:
Parent - By Uly (Gold) [mx] Date 2010-11-10 13:36
Ahhh, now I know the cause of the delay :wink:

No Rondo? Aw, well then, go Rybka!

EDIT - And I think the Cluster is overkill :yell:
Parent - - By sarciness (***) [gb] Date 2010-11-10 17:54
I thought this tournament already happened in May. Are there 2 Leiden tournaments?
Parent - - By oudheusa (*****) [nl] Date 2010-11-10 21:07
Yes Leiden is the center of computer chess :)

Despite strength difference it's going to be a fun tournament!
Parent - - By patrick delaurentis (**) Date 2010-11-20 14:06
would rybka even function properly on 2000+ cores? how many is vas running, isn't it only 100.....
Parent - By Labyrinth (****) [us] Date 2010-11-21 00:46
Lukas is running 200 cores.

2000 cores would definitely require some work.
