Where are the points for the 8-12 engines?

What time controls do you use? In blitz games, 32 MiB hash is enough for the
engines. By giving 96MiB there is a probability (very very small i think)
to hurt engine performance.

Bad idea to use Nunn positions. Except the fact that the final classification
will show a non-general result, so the strongest engine at the final will
be only stronger in those Nunn positions and not in general, by using 5 opening
positions only, for a 5-double RR tournament, engines will play the same type of
games all the time and only with book learning the results could differ from
round to round.

Are you refering to Deep Junior 8? I don't remember DJ7 has a time bug.

Can you sent me the games after the tournament finish.
