Are you sure you used Gothmog 0.4.5 and not some earlier version, then?
Version 0.4.5 was released yesterday, and you cannot have had much time
to play with it.  Of course this does not really make your match result
invalid from the point of view of our bet, because 0.4.5 is apparently
very much stronger than 0.4.3.

Yes, but Gothmog 0.4.3 was incredibly lucky in that tournament.  It
scored 50% against Fritz 8, Shredder 7.04, Pepito 1.59, Gandalf 4.32,
Ruffian 1.05 and Rebel 12.00.01.  Yeah, right.

I would be very surprised if Gothmog 0.4.5 is able to improve upon
version 0.4.3's results in this tournament, even though I know that the
new version is clearly stronger.
