Yes, the results were not that great - but I'm still very satisfied.  I
am more interested in finding evaluation weaknesses than in winning
games, and from this point of view the tournament was a great
success!  I was also happy to see that I didn't lose a single game
because of tactical mistakes.  When using two CPUs, Glaurung is
finally fast enough to avoid being outsearched by everybody else.

>but it sure did a lot better in blitz.

Yes, clear second place behind Hiarcs in the blitz in front of Rybka,
Fruit, Junior and Spike was of course a fantastic result.  I really
didn't expect that after scoring 1/3 in the first three rounds. :-)

I still think Glaurung is better in slow games, though.  It was just
slightly unlucky in the main tournament, and extremely lucky in
the blitz.
