This is only the 6th division that is the division of the weakest engines in Leo's tournament. There are 7 divisions when the best divisions is the premier division and the first division. It is the 7th edition. Storm competed in all the editions from the first edition You can see results of it in previous editions in the history pages It seems that it was relatively lucky in the last edition because in the 6 edition it only got place 29 out of 48 when Tscp was 0.5 point above it. see http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/html/his6thedition.html Uri
