Go up one level in this thread



I did notice that there were 3 separate tournaments, but I'll hereby revise my
statements:

** Genius 6.5 ties for first place out of 10 engines, ahead of Junior 5, Century
3.2, Fritz 6, Chess Tiger 13, and Shredder 4!

** Chess Tiger 14 comes in solo LAST PLACE out of 10 engines, behind TheKing,
Yace, and Crafty!


Both are still pretty unusual results.
