The prizes are terrible

• sireat 16y ago
  While prizes are terrible financially speaking, that signed DVD is about as nice a prize as one of the checks from Knuth. Unfortunately, it looks like the competition will be ridiculously tough since good old ELO has been pushed down about 30 spots. Also, it seems the improvements are not going to be overly dramatic after the first rush. Why? Because chess games between human players have some randomness inherent in them.
