In reviewing the open dates for this and the participation over the last 3 years, the weekend of July 17th and 18th looks good.

Are there any other tournaments for that weekend that I've missed?

If enough people from the Australian time zones sign up, I'll start the tournament at 8 am EST. Otherwise, we'll stick to 9 am EST. Depending on the number of participants, we will have between 11 and 14 rounds at G/25 +4. Assuming enough from the other end of the world sign up, we would have only 4 rounds on Sunday, thus the tournament would be over by noon EST on Sunday.

The tournament is two weeks away and we had a series of unfortunate events that caused the lose of the old domain. The new domain is compchess.org

The web pages for the 2010 Fourth Annual World Computer Rapid Chess Championships are at http://compchess.org/ACCAWCRCC/2010ACCAWCRCC/WCRCC.html

The tournament is open to all authors/researchers of original programs from around the world. There isn't any restriction on playing strength. Also, spectators are welcome to chat with us on the computer chess channel.
