As far as I know the match is still going on. Thorsten is still playing it, but
he also has his "Millenium tournament" running.

The latest score was 2-1 in favor of Tiger.

It has been decided that the programs will be allowed to use their opening books
(initially Tiger was playing without book), but each opening will be played
twice. This way each progam will get the same opening position, and the effect
of killer lines (if any are played) will be dimished.

This decision was taken because of lack of randomness in Diep's and Tiger's
opening choice.
