Thanks Gerd!  Your program played some vicious chess at Leiden.  And, of course,
Isi could have (should have...) drawn the game against Ruffian.  You wrote about
the contempt factor -- well, things like that happen.  You scored well, and
there is no program you can't beat.

Wish you all luck in your next tournament.
