Same here. Particularly his tournaments. IIRC, they were 4 round-robin, with about 18 participants in each level. Engines who did well moved up in level. Organized like soccer leagues. He also insisted on pondering which is rare today. Engines provided their own opening books, and those that did not have one, were given one created by Leo.
