>>
>>           Shredder      - Junior           : 1 - 0
>I guess 1/2-1/2

I thought about that, but I give Shredder the edge.

>>           Rebel         - Fritz            : 1 - 0
>I guess 1/2-1/2

I am picking Rebel due to it has the white pieces and was impressive vs
Shredder.

>>           Nimzo         - Chess Tiger      : 1 - 0
>I guess 1/2-1/2

Again a tough one, but I think Nimzo is going to win the tournament.

>>           Francesca     - Crafty           : 0 - 1
>>           ZChess        - XiniX            : 1 - 0
>>           Pacque Expert - SOS              : 0 - 1

I think really these are no brainers, but anything could happen.
>>           Insomniac     - Diep             : 1 - 0

I don't give Diep a shot in hell in getting 3 full points out of the tournament.
It has showed it is not of great calibre in the tournament, and I originally
picked it to place 10th. And I quoted that the only reason it was to finish that
high, is I didn't know enough of the other lower programs. I look as to be on
track with this one.

Yes I could have picked it the other way to, but Tiger should have won that
game, odd that it didn't, and hurt it's changes to win.
