Hello and welcome back.

I have some questions regarding G.C computer world championship. Do you know why TSCPGothic program of Tom Kerrigan/Michel Langeveld, is not participating? According to his last words the TSCPGothic was improving faster and faster and even managed to win one game against Gothic Vortex 1.0.1. It would be interesting to have it at the GCCWC.

Also will the games be live anywhere? It would be interesting.

And what about Zillions-Of-Games participation?
I've played 5-6 matches against it in a cousin that had the full version of zillions(not Gothic Evolution Chess,so yes i modified the zillions file to be able to play Gothic Chess(is this legal?Sorry if not:-))), and find the play of zillions very weak. In fact it was a complete beginner. But does it matter? Chess programs was the same at the old days. Some were very weak.

Look this: Helgason,H - Chess Challenger 10 [C50]
Reykjavik, 1979

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bc4 Bc5 5.d3 d6 6.h3 0-0 7.Bg5 Ne7 8.Bxf6 gxf6 9.Qd2 Nc6 10.Nd5 f5?? 11.Qh6 fxe4? 12.Nf6+ Kh8? 13.Qxh7# 1-0
Funny to miss a mate in one.

And do you know if any of these programs will be commercially or free available?
