I apologize for the lack of broadcasting at the final stage of the tournament. It is due to the problems with my XSplit Broadcasther which arised after the last Windows update :o Now it shows Arena not on the full screen but only on the quater; the ''full screen'' command doesn't help.

There are many strange/unexpected/remarkable things concerning this tourney; some of them are:

1) Unexpected domination of Komodo 11.01 over other engines including the newer Komodo 12.1.1.
2) Amazingly strong result by Minic 2.53 NaNe and (especially) Minic 2.53 NaNu.
3) SlowChess 2.4 behind 2.3 (and generally lower than expected).
4) Relatively weak result of Nemorino 6.00 NNUE_net_6.
5) Impressive performance by Defenchess 2.3 dev.
6) Booot 6.4 behind 6.3.1.
7) Nice result of Wasp 4.08 dev.
8) Relatively weak result of Rubi 1.8.
9) Nirvana 2.5 behind 2.4 (perhaps, there is a bug in 2.5 since it regularly says ''Mate in +0 moves'' in the eval).

Thanks to all who followed the tournament!

My next tourney will include 'such engines as Benjamin, Dimitri, Djinn, Donna, Drosophila, ECE, GreKo, K2, OliThink, ProDeo, Stash, and some legendary oldies: Alaric, Aristarch, Bison, Colossus, Hamsters, Hermann, Pharaon, SOS, The King, Ufim (and may be some other engines).

I downloaded Ethereal version 12.75, but can NOT find the exe file anywhere ?

Perhaps, you downloaded it from a wrong place. Use this link, all 'exe' files (compilations for Windows) are here:
