Advanced Online Chess

I have set up a chess tournament called, Advanced Online Chess.

Here you can consult your engines while playing. Lets try this out as an experiment.

I see you limited the rating range to 1200-1600, why?

Many of the best centaur players are also high rated normal online players

You should change it to be unrated, to be in line with the site's conditions for playing such games here.

I might have joined had it been more than 24 hours per move.

Yeah, thats true too

Did the needful.

Unrated. No maximum rating limit. 3 days per move.

I setup an advanced online tournament where one can refer to engines while playing. It has dragged on for more than a year now. 70/72 games complete in a year and a half. 

Trying to revive this concept. 

One day per move. Unrated and no vacations. 

This is the link for the tournament http://www.chess.com/tournament/advanced-online-chess-iiunrated

Also a chess.com group for Advanced Online players at

Any views/feedback most welcome. 

I was interested at first, but the line "consult your engines whilst playing", what's that all about?

No tah.

But thats what is known as "Advanced Chess" 

Both players consult an engine. 

Right OK, so two players do what their computers tell them to do and whoever has the best software wins?

You're a joke to chess and yourself.

Except that's not "advanced chess" (also called "centaur chess"), that's just using a computer.  A good centaur player knows the weaknesses that computers still have, and is able to guide the computer analysis using their own knowledge of strategy.

A good centaur player should be able to beat a pure computer player, even if their computer isn't as strong as their opponent's, because they know how to blend human understanding with computer's calculation abilities to play better than either one of them could alone.
