TPR view of the tournament (initial Elo average arbitrarily assigned to 2500):

Of course, this is the only logical way to score the tournament:

Nullmover    2.5  59.5   5.50  15.5  0000  -   0
Zzzzzz       2.0  59.5   3.25  16.0  0000  -   0
GNU Chess    0.0  61.0   0.00   0.0  0000  -   0

But two other things jump out at me.  The Baron's all or nothing approach
(actually, I like it).  And Deep Sjeng's draw craze.  I mean, Deep Sjeng's draw
list would make the most draw-happy super GM blush! {OK, wild exaggeration}
;-)

Congratulations to all the participants.  And may I say that while GnuChess was
mercilessly pounded into oblivion, it still is no pansy.
