I am really looking forward to Xinix playing.

Recently I have been looking at all it's past games, and Tony has really made
some improvements. On a dual setup it should prove tough to beat.

Of course I am eagerly looking forward to seeing Gandalf play. I believe it will
win this year by a clear full point, beating Shredder in the final round to
break a tie and claim the title :)

My predictions:

1. Gandalf
2. Shredder
3. ProDeo
3. The King
4. Pro Deo
4. Diep
5. Xinix
6. Ant
6. The Baron
6. GoldBar

I don't know where the bottom three will exactly finish, so I put them all as
6th :)
