10a. I didn't get 10b and still consider 10a to be the strongest.
Anti-GM was set to "Smart" and EOC to "Strong".
Fresh install to new machines, so no learning from earlier tournaments.

Of course. :) My games are always played manually.

Since I have had several emails from Chris about this tournament and he never
mentioned anything in that direction, I guess I have permission. :)
As for the "CST 2.50 broken" issue, I will make some experiments later this week
and report the results here. I have no reason not to believe Thorsten, but I
want to see for myself before I add a comment in that respect on my site.

BTW, I think it's interesting that everyone involved in the "2.03 vs. 2.50"
issue (including Thorsten and yourself) had enough time to write dozens of
postings but never took a few minutes to run some test positions to prove that
either 2.50 does play different from 2.03 or that it doesn't... :)
