Note that I am currently conducting the 2009 edition of the 'Battle of the Goths' tournament, which is a championship for computer programs that can play general 10x8 variants with the Capablanca pieces. As it is an automated tournament, only programs that are WinBoard compatible can participate.
This year we have 8 participants; ChessV is new compared to last year, and other programs now have improved versions. Each program will play each other program 10 times, from 5 different opening arrays (Bird, Capablanca, Carrera, Embassy and an unmentionable one).
