Perhaps we have to accept that in this kind of WCHs luck always seems
to play a strong role...?
Another question: How much Multi-CPUs had Shredder and Tiger played?
[I dont exactly know the opponents right now and I am too lazy to
figure it out :))]
In my opinion it was no good idea to mix the different groups up as
it increases the lucky factor which is already given.
Do you have some other(without ELO-Stat) suggestions to make this competetion
more fair despite the fact that there are no more than 9rd playable?
