Disregarding the 3rd division altogether, as all games haven't been played, I
can say that Chezzz has an at least equal score with 2nd division engines such
as Arasan, Exchess and Sjeng. WildCat, Delfi, SmarThink and WBQueen, Chezzz
haven't even played against, I think.

I'm not saying that the tournament is necesarily unreliable, and I know that
chess strength isn't transitive, A can beat B, and B can beat C, but C may beat
A. Still, my feeling is that Chezzz is roughly equal in strength to the lower
end of 2nd division. I don't know how Leo setup Chezzz for the tournament.
