I only played about 2000 of them.  The others came from tournaments run by other
people at long time control.

14000 hours+

We'll see when tournament time comes how it all shakes out.  Amy and Yace have
had changes occur during calibration.  In fact, many programs have.  The latest
versions may do better (or worse!) than what went on during calibration.  I
would not expect any monumental upheavals, however.

>also did "all" the programs face each other??

No.  In fact, there is little point to run (for instance) a contest of Crafty
verses Golem, since it would take millions of games to extract statistical
information of value.  There are intermixes of programs from different brackets.
 A good mix will actually calibrate faster than if all programs come from the
same band.

The best is yet to come.  All of this was just to form a sensible starting
order!
