Hey guys how's everyone.

Gandalf got 4.5 out of 6 points for First weekend for CCT4.

Aristarch-Gandalf 5 : 0-1

Gandalf played good openiing Aristarch improve some stuff before CCT4.And he did
defend well and some point got into Endgame and very dangerous cauz Aristarch
was under attack but he has pass pawn but attacking was so strong a good
combination from Gandalf.

Gandalf 5-Postmodernist 1/2 1/2

This game was so tough for Gandalf postmodernist had good middle game and even
strong Endgame but Gandalf played accurate enough to get the draw and I like how
it did it ;).Postmodernist Program is getting stronger And keep up good work :).

Beringer - Gandalf 5

Here's one of good games at CCT4.Beringer is what I was scare for I kept my eye
for it at CCT3 and more.And I see that it's very strong program hard to
beat.Beringer played a dead draw line but Gandalf 5 actually come up with
progress I though I can win but Beringer defend really well at the end even at
the end game looks win but it's not.

Gandalf 5 - sjeng

I had bad start My gandalf 5 just give error and I keep trying to log on many
times so we abort and we restart.Sjeng start defensing But Gandalf catch Some
attacking moves and good combination to get the game.Gandalf is very strong
Attacking.So sjeng didn't get enough time to defend.

Diep - Gandalf 5

Here's I was Happy for Diep it was 3/3 and it lost from ban So it had to play me
I was scared of it's play But.Diep seem played Weird opening it's not losing but
Gandalf Get attacking moves from it and played very nice interesting moves at
the end At some point NxB was needed but it's still better for me but The bishop
was very strong and did get huge attacking from it as diep try to promote it's
pawn it was dangerous but gandalf defend it and get play and win.

Gandalf 5 -JZInsomniac

Here's was hard game for Gandalf 5 there was pass pawn going hard and it was bad
eval was -1.20 at some point but,Gandalf defend and I was suprised how well it
defend cauz it find draw moves at the end and still black has pass pawn and it
was very dangerous I even liked JZInsomniac position.I like JZInsomniac program
it's very strong Program and will can get good place at CCT4 and maybe first
place by it's good playing :).
