In the big 100-round tournament you ran, which ended a few weeks ago using the
same 6 programs, the top two programs were TheKing and Fritz; the bottom two
were Tiger and Hiarcs. After 23 rounds in this test, it's the same set of two
at the top and the same set of two at the bottom (and, of course, the same set
of two, Junior and Shredder, in the middle).
