It was ranked third place.

There is no release date available yet, but progress is going quite well.  Below
is a list of a few of the improvements.  I can be more specific as time goes on.

* Increased tactical ability and stronger mate attacks.
* Searching is much deeper (up to 62 plies deep), this includes searching about
2 ply iterations deeper than HIARCS 7.32 at tournament time controls, which has
also improved the positional play.
* Earlier end game tablebase utilization with support for 6-piece sets as well.

It will be released as a ChessBase engine.
