CCT8 - Possible seeding are up - Re-Order #1

[Somnus]

Hi All,

Well after MUCH input from readers, the POSSIBLE seeding list is up.

I also should have made is more clear it was nothing more than a tentative list. It WAS going to change. And voila it has

So if you have any other suggestions of who should go where, please email me from the webpage as that email will not be filtered at all.

Also if you happen to notice that your registration information is not properly seen on the website please email me as well. I just realized I was using two different participant.html pages and some information was not proper shown.

I have correctly my totally newbie error and hopefully all is well again in
participant land

Is K9 really that weak? I played a couple of games against it on the CCC a couple of games ago, and thought it looked quite strong. Glaurung won both games, but not without a hard fight, despite a huge hardware advantage (2 GHz Intel Core Duo vs 2 GHz Centrino).

Petir also seems to be too far down the list. I think it belongs somewhere on the upper half.

By far the best would be always to rely on Leos ranking list for
a starting point and just to adjust it to eventual hardware differences.
Thus one can avoid all those weird start lists, which happened
quite often in all CCT tournaments before.
(It seems the reason is missing knowledge about huge parts of
the amateur computer chess scene, even by the participating
programmers.)

In the current list Petir is much too low, Tinker too high, Djinn too low,
Chezz too low, PM a bit too high and so on...

I actually did use Leo's list for most of this.

I will go through it again though now. Maybe I missed something or miss sorted something when I was doing the HTML.
