A very close horse race. Tony is ahead by a nose! :D

Since I am not an engine tester and therefore have a big disadvantage againt Graham and Tony, what handicap do I recieve? :P

You don't necessarily need to be tester to vote for top 3 engines, because you can follow the tournament where the testers post results and there are ratings available in CEGT, CCRL etc

I don't test blitz, so think Tony has the edge over us both in theory.

In practice, well........ :P

yeah I know it but I should let you know the reason for why you should not award someone with the handicap points :P

Sorry for not taking it as humour and rather writing it in Uri Blass style :)
