Hi Krzysztof,

Thank you for organizing this tourney! It must be a huge amount of work to play over 300 games by hand on the DGT board, keeping track of all the moves and entering them in both computers without making a single mistake. You did a tremendous job!

Although Ares improved somewhat over the version from last year I didn't expect it to win the tournament, to win tournaments like this you need a bit of luck, this year the luck was on Ares side.

The good result obtained by Ares inspires me to keep working on it, like you requested I first want to add a simple GUI to make the program easier to use, this will take some time, nowadays it takes me at least 3 months to do the same amount of programming work I did in 2 weeks 40 years ago.

Hopefully there will be another tourney same time next year.

Joost

Hi Krzysztof,

I tried to download all the games of the tournament but the link to download the games does not seem to work, it says unable to find Draughts2022.rar

Can you take a look at this? Thanks in advance.

Greetings, Joost

I know that. Please wait a few days. I'm just creating it. I cannot spend much time on the computer because of very important family issues.

Don't hurry, family issues are way more important than this.
