Hello & bonjour,

just wanted to inform all of you who like to participate
in "XY versus The World" chess matches on the net:

GambitSoft & Frank Quisinsky are preparing for the match

Deep Shredder vs. The World, at
http://www.gambitsoft.net/_shredder/

A multi cpu version of the current Computer World Champ will calculate
18...20 hours per move on state-of-the-art hardware (2x 1 GHz Pentiums).
A tough challenge for the planet! Worldwide participation of chess
experts
around the globe will be neccessary to tame this monster.

A special message board has been prepared for this event:
http://f22.parsimony.net/forum41668/
(also accessible from the match website)

The first thing to decide will be, to choose one out of 10 opening
positions, from where the match will start. The organizers want to avoid
a too long theory battle by this (an idea which is alread controversely
discussed of course at various boards). I have done some chess database
research and posted result statistics (but I'm not much of a chess
expert):
http://f22.parsimony.net/forum41668/messages/470.htm

The voting for the opening starts Saturday 21:00 MEZ, I think this is
15:00 eastern time in North America.

Thanks, and I hope we all will enjoy this event!

Regards,
M.Scheidl
