Thanks HGM for this great tournament. Looking forward to future chess variants tournaments. I think you already mentioned knightmate.

Regards,
Carlos

Thanks for running the tournament. I like this tournament format.
It seems that TJchess10x8 gets doubled or tripled pawns for itself more often than other programs, so I'm wondering if pawn eval is a weak spot for TJchess. I haven't looked at all the games, though.
