No, the new book did very well I think, especially given how little
time we had to get it ready.

>Hardware problems?

Nope, machine ran perfectly. I can recommend Athlon64's to
everyone. Time to throw that hopelessy oudated 32 bit P4 out
of the window :)

>Just unlucky?

Yeah a bit. The weak endgame cost at least 2 games that could have been
won or drawn. I have been improving this but clearly there is more work
to do. I wouldn't call this bad luck since it's no secret that Deep Sjengs
endgame is not the best. The other improvements didn't really get a chance
to show themselves. That *is* bad luck :)

Deep Sjeng's result are all over the place - a result of it's unorthodox
playing style I think. Bad result in WCCC, good result in Blitz-WCCC, bad
result in Leiden, won the CSS tournament, etc...
