Hi Roy,

I would add Comet to your list. It did very well in Leo's last
Amateur/Commercial event and the First Division at 40/40. Indeed, AnMon, LG, and
Bringer did not qualify as you can see from the two tables below.

My list would be:

Yace
Crafty
Comet
AnMon ?
LG ?

“WBEC Ridderkerk” FreeCo Division.
DUAL-P3-933, Ponder=ON, 64 MB hash, all 3,4 and 5 man Nalimovs.
