No, it was just 9 rounds, almost anything is possible.

I know. TRhe biggest disappointment of this tourney. Unfortunately it was myself
who operated Rebel. =:-(

Take a look at Rebels games yourself, they are available at least on my homepage
at www.harald-faber.de.

Nimzo IS weak, Rebel played...not well.

Slowest machine was A-1000 for Nimzo and LambChop, fastest machine was XP1900+.
Kasten Bauermeister already wrote that in the CSS-board which unfortunately
crashed recently but maybe an archive exists?!
Some used own and/or "tuned" opening books, some used the original ones.
Settings have been default except Chessmaster which have been by Stefan Kleinert
(CM 8777). Shredder 5 played the last few rounds with "normal" (default is
aggressive). The others played default. Time control in most cases has been
40/120+60.
