The endgame Truus - Plus was really interesting. Not sure if 83. ... 21-26 was the decisive (wrong) move by Plus. Nevertheless seems that 2-19 still holds. But guess a check with a 8p DB will reveal the final truth.
Anyway it was again fun watching all these games.

Re: HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024
Krzysztof, yes I'm writing a book about the History of Computer Draughts (in Dutch). The History will comprise (most likely) of 2 volumes, and each volume is around 350-400 pages. But this is much work, so guess end date around 2025. The picture is from the first volume, and has 380 pages. Bert boek...

Re: pydraughts, a draughts library in Python
Thanks for sharing. I have basically 2 questions , in your github example you have a tournament with 2 players, are more players also possible (and in that case) are engines switched on and off automatically. And last but not least what we would like to see; a tournament with multiple engines which ...

Krzysztof, thanks for organising, and all the time and energy you spent to make this happen.

So also congratulations to Ed.

A pity that GWD crashed in the first round, at least it looked like that.
The position against Mobydam seems to be quite drawish...

Re: 1rst INTERNATIONAL DRAUGHTS ENGINES TOURNAMENT
Sidiki, again thanks for organizing.
I have great respect for those who organize these events, as it is rather time consuming.
Maybe we can automate play between a large number of engines in the future.
But as some already posted here, this is not going to happen soon.

Re: 1rst INTERNATIONAL DRAUGHTS ENGINES TOURNAMENT
Sidiki, thanks for organizing. After 8 rounds, it is too early to draw final conclusions. But it seems that now (more or less) we have 9 strong programs. And the final outcome seems to be mainly determined by the results against Truus, Flits en Horizon. But maybe we see some unexpected surprises.......
