Athlon XP2000
256mb hash each (or closest allowed by each program)
3,4,5 piece tablebases
All using Fritz Powerbook tournament book (maximum variety, minimum 5 games for a move to be played, no learning)
40 moves in 40 minutes repeating.
Ponder off
Tournament run under Deep Fritz 8 GUI
The top three finishers aside from CM9000 Judge II and CM 10th Edition (which have already qualified) will progress to the final stage which will be played at 40/120 with the powerbook settings optimised.
There are approximately 100 games that I will be rerunning at the end of the tournament due to unsatisfactory openings caused by the powerbook settings used. I don’t expect this to have much effect on final placings.
