This time control is now being used for several years in the dutch open. I like it very much: The game lasts a maximum of three hours. Still, the level of the games is high. >The excellent results of Quest and Nimzo surprised me somewhat, I wouldn't have >picked Quest coming 1.5 points ahead of The King. I guess the authors of The >King and Chess Tiger will be a little disappointed. Hmm, I was operating Chess Tiger and of course I saw it ranked higher before the tournament started. But in tournaments like this everything can happen and you need a little bit of luck. Tiger played too many draws (from good positions) and The King lost against ANT because of a bad opening line. >Diep had a respectable result, while Insomniac did extremely well in its first >tournament. Yes, splendid result for James Robertson! >Some of the lower programs (GoldBar, Morphy 3.1, XiniX) I know very little >about, does anyone have any more details about them? These are dutch amateur programs. XiniX (which means 'I don't see anything', as far as I am concerned the wittiest name in the tournament!) had lots of problems, because the program was not quite finished. This lead to serval crashes. Greets, Jeroen
