The Axolotl And The Fly

[Graham Banks]

Was there some sort of issue with Axolotl?

Yes - I get a JNI error message after installing the latest java update.
I'll take a look at the javapath configuration this weekend to see if I can sort it out.

Congratulations to Marco (CyberPagno author) for the tournament victory.

Fab got clutch 4/6 points in the last 6 rounds to fourth last place. All in all still pretty disappointing compared to my estimate. Let's see where version 1.9 is heading on the elo chart though Thanks Graham for hosting the tournament!
