46th Amateur Series Division 4

[Graham Banks]

An exciting tournament so far Graham.

regards,

The field seems to have divided into two distinct groups. I wonder whether that will change.

Probably, I *always* expect the "great collapse" whenever I watch my engine play!
And sadly, I'm rarely disappointed.

--tom

You might be pleasantly surprised.
I expect it to remain tight at the top and Djinn will be involved.

Oops, I wasn't aware that iCE was demoted to D4. But at least it did win some games here.

Thanks Graham for running it.

Hi Thomas,

looks like you'll get a good chance at going back into Division 3.

With so many improved engine versions coming out, nothing is guaranteed these days though.

Cheers,
Graham.

Thanks again for running it!!

I must improve a lot Andscacs to not doing badly in Division 3.
When it will start?

There is usually about 2 months between each division being run again.
Congratulations on your tournament victory!
