You wrote in your first post, that you played 8 games with the new HT-setting
for DF. I replied to exactly that, nothing more nothing less.

I'm not sure under what circumstances you played all the other 8-round
tournaments where F7 won, but:

1. You didn't mention them in the first post
2. It sounds to me that the setting "192MB for DF" was not active then and
therefore is a completely different test

Anyway, I apologize, if I sounded a bit too rude. I usually shut up when I read
about these oh-so-scientific test tournamnents, but once in a while I say
something. ;)
