I'm not sure if Ferret can call itself =1st or not, maybe somebody else knows. It was funny, I was talking with Ingo Althofer on CCC during the first Ferret-Shredder game, I said something (I don't remember exactly) and Ingo said "don't say that! that means shredder will lose!" and I said "but I am cheering for Ferret!" :-) I imagine Stefan will get some extra sales as a consequence of this tournament! It beat Fritz, then Rebel, tied Nimzo, then Hiarcs, then Ferret, beat Junior, tied Ferret again. That must give one heck of a tournament performance rating. :) Dave
