I agree, Crafty is the favourite. Thereafter it's going to be close.

I'll go with TCB or Phalanx.

Just a single question. What books are Amy and Yace using?

I assume it's ZChess 1.20 you're using, but I think it's strong enough to win
this group.

I'll put my money on InmiChess. Olithink will cause you problems. Use GLC
instead, which is stronger. Monik looks somewhat overrated and should probably
be swapped with either Cilian or Fortress.

I would dump Skaki and Tristram and go with newer engines like Bastia, Mint,
Crux or Faile.

Good luck.
