i know each Leiden tournament consists of both a PC Engine tournament as well as a "Users" or "Gebroikers "tournament of dedicated chess computers
i dont see where on the link the Gebriokers or Users Tournament updates are shown?

Steve

What are Hansdamf and Tzunami?
Are these relabeled engines that we already know or something out of the blue.

It is fairly unusual to see engines we have never seen before doing well against known, strong opposition.

Hansdamf is the successor of IsiChess.

Tzunami is a new engine, whose first appearance was at the Dutch Open of 2008. It was designed for efficient parallel search, but at the time was still riddled with bugs. Many of these bugs have been corrected now.

Very impressive result for Hansdamf in the early going!

Gerd has worked hard over a long period of time, so any success would indeed be well deserved. 8-)

Both of these engines have been listed in the Private Engine List for a while
