I will write an article about the tournament, but it's a bit delayed,
as I've had my hands full so far.

From my point, it was a lot of bad luck combined with the inability
to test with the new hardware. Oh, and the program was playing like sh*t.. :)

At the end of the tournament things were working better and Deep Sjeng
finished 4th in the blitz. But at that time, the main tournament was
already over.

From what I understand, Vincent wasn't able to test in advance at all,
so I guess his problems were similar.

PS. Fritz & Junior were running on 8 cpu Xeons. My Opteron may have been
fast, it can't do miracles :) I hope for the next tournament we can get
better hardware from AMD and turn some things around.
