| Level and testing period: | 60 minutes per game per player will be played. I have setup 20 games each match (I am considering changing the PCs after half of each match = after 10 games, but it will depend if this is practical senseful), each program vs. all other programs. This leads to a total amount of 200 games a 2 hours = 400 hours / 24 hours per day = 16 2/3 days testing period, multiplied by 3 (for each run, see overview) the total testing period will be 50 days. Each program plays 80 games per run. Start is/was August 19th 2002. Place: Haltern, Germany. |
