 I don't think there is a lack of interest at all. Seemingly there was, but
actually i believe that many people followed the tournament without saying a
word...... I always look at the results daily and the games regularly while i
don't post too often my thoughts......
 For me it is you and Leo(WBEC-Ridderkerk) after SSDF (and now GEGT and CSS
lists has been added), that i look to understand what is the engine's strength.

 Just continue your GREAT efforts..........:-)

Hey! Shredder had many difficulties in this tournament.....:-)
But really next time you should handicap Shredder with some way. Play without
book would make other programs take their revenge for this humiliating
defeat.....!

Anyway i'm confused. At Leo's last premier The King 3.33 finished much better
than Gandalf 6.0. Of course your tournament has 4 times more games but it's not
yet clear who is better.......?!?!?!?
