IMO it is ovious why yace won this game.
the position was closed. gt was unable to attack, and with deep search
alone such a black position is not easy to solve/defend,
i am sure many other search based programs would have had similar kind
of problems.

the round today had IMO a few surprises: rebel-maastrichts cool attack
against quark. zarkovs unbelievable good attack against neurologic.

as i said: IMO john should sell this version. its good enough to do so.
