Sorry for the double post - clicked the wrong button - but John how true with
Logan - look at this now:

Name                Wins    Draws   Losses  Games   Score
Karpov                 7       2       1      10     8.0
Korchnoi               7       1       3      11     7.5
Spassky                6       2       2      10     7.0
Fischer                6       1       3      10     6.5
Waitzkin               5       2       3      10     6.0
Logan                  1      10       0      11     6.0
Queenie                5       1       4      10     5.5
Polgar                 4       2       4      10     5.0
CM 8000                4       2       4      10     5.0
Chessmaster            4       1       5      10     4.5
Frederic               3       3       4      10     4.5
Grailmaster 3.0        2       5       3      10     4.5
Crafty GM              3       2       6      11     4.0
Kamsky                 3       1       6      10     3.5
Capablanca             3       0       7      10     3.0
Shakespeare            1       1       9      11     1.5

Logan has 1 win and 0 losses - for a nice 5th place standing.  The upset here
has to be the standard CM9K setting with 4 wins and 5 losses.  Although it is
only 10 games and these are 5 0 games.  I do think it is appropriate that the
top 4 are Karpov, Korchnoi, Spassky and Fischer - all of them world champions or
in Korchnoi's case -  good enough to be a world champion.  The Waitskin standing
is interesting only in the sense that Josh plays such an important part in the
Chessmaster series - it is only fitting that his namesake here does well.  And
how about Queenie popping into the top half of the field?.

I am very pleased with the Crafty 17.16 SE standing - achieving just under 40%
here thus far.
