Thanks to all participiants and specially to Ulf Lorenz for perfect organization
and the great Hardware support from the University of Paderborn.

Congrats to Stefan, Shredder won the IPCCC for the fourth time, i think. The
strong Fritz close behind, congrats also to Frans and Mathias and to Uli and
Daniel to archive the third place with Comet. A strong field - very exciting
games, e.g. Gandalf (the unlucky) against Shredder.

As usual the tournament atmosphere in Paderborn was very kind and friendly. It's
very difficult for Ulf to organize the tournament and to prepare P.ConNerS. It's
a huge disadvantage to have no original test environment. Ulf, Head up, next
time will be better.

I also feel with Stefans Matador. Very unlucky - some hopefull positions but no
success. Matador is not so weak as the results suggest.

Very interesting to meet Chrilly Donninger and Alex Kure. I believe Brutus has a
great future - FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) seem to be very promising
for computer chess, e.g. doing a complex eval in 5 cycles or so.

best regards,
Gerd
