It is not relevant because the meaning of first second and third is clear if the category is not mentioned. > >deep junior did not win overall. >the two classes were split because of total kns per move. Not because of kn per move but because of the speed of the computer and it is logical also to say that there was only one class. It depends on the way you look at it. There was only one tournament and not 2 seperate tournaments. >the only way deep junior was the overall winner was if every program was >playing with dual processors, or if this tournaments rules stated that >this was an "open" tournament in regards to the pc. This was practically an open tournament in regards to the pc. more than one title does not mean more than one tournwment. Uri
