10 rebel 9 cm 5500 0.5-0.5
*note: game 4 not yet over, but white has won.
scores are my estimates.
--------------------------------------------------
game 1 -- white appears to have a good advantage:
39.Nxe6 Re3 40.Nc7+ Kc6 41.Rxe3 dxe3 42.Nxb5 Kxb5
43.Rxg7 Rxf4 44.Re7 giving white the probable win.
game 2 -- this is a tight one, white with a probable
pawn advantage in the endgame. I'm calling it a draw,
but white could win.
game 3 -- white looks like a clear winner here.
game 4 -- white wins.
game 5 -- too early to tell, call it a draw.
game 6 -- call it a draw.
-------------------------------------------------
Black will win only one game in the entire tournament,
and that was abetted by an odd opening, if I remember.
cm 5500 will end up the only undefeated program, and
will win the tournament.
hiarcs 6 has done rather badly, apparently had some
difficulty with opening selection. and it could lose
game two, which would leave it with only 0.5/4.0.
