The 5.0 engine will be out when we and ChessBase will be ready with it. What you are seeing here reported is "work in progress". There are some more events planned in the near future. Some more info on this tournament: This was the strongest rapid tournament I can remember. Shay reported 4 tying for first place, I think there was a fifth one, maybe Avrukh (who led until losing last round to Liss). Junior's TPR is way above 2700, which is not bad if it includes a 1700-player. The draw against Smirin, by the way, was a "grandmaster" draw. This was a rapid tournament, so there were some great wins (Stisis, Goldin) and some cheap steals. I'll probably report the games in the ICCAJ.
