  Dear Chess Friends,

  I am pleased to announce that,  I've organized a new competition with engines close to 2700 Elo!  2nd name can be called: In the Name of Chessmaster (The King)  One of my favorite chess programs, using it since 1997-98 years!
  What is the target via running this tournament  1st of all...I love much chess ..2nd. too boring if testing only NNUE  3rd. these kind of tours are as old friends and old wine are best...!)
  Note also that, in the past:  I created successful CM settings for slower time controls!  E.g 40/40 played results can be still viewed CM9 Gladiator  Plus one more ancient engine rating 40/10 The King 3.23S  And also another collective work, results 40/40: CM9 SKR
  Ok..let's back to the actual engine competition...
  The current participants,  Sure as main chess engine is The King 3.50 x64  Plus many engines, which are minus plus 2700 Elo
  And as alternative,  The King engine is played via many CM settings !!
  As opening book, as usual:  All chess engines via Balsa suite (switched colors)
      The Current CM11 Leader: Innovation  - Congratulations to Tom Mentel!
