The top engine will gain automatic promotion and the bottom engine will gain automatic relegation. Any other changes of division will be at my discretion and may not necessarily involve playoff matches.

Interesting game featuring a very casual and positional exchange sacrifice as well as a dancing knight. Towards the end black is basically in zugzwang and starts dropping material in desperation.
Yes, that was a fantastic game by Deuterium! I think the sacrifice was 100% correct, but Deuterium didn't find the optimal way to proceed, so SF starts to prefer black, but in the end Winter was the first to slip up. Was a fantastic fight and well deserved point that may decide the tournament!
In general Deuterium's aggressiveness has impressed me a lot. In a field filled with engines that give me more of a positional vibe, eg: Marvin, Scorpio and Winter, it is definitely a nice change of pace.

Thanks for the event Graham! Was a really great struggle at the top and some other engines were really looking good. SlowChess and Scorpio looked especially good when things were going well and Minic won against a lot of the first half of the field in the last round robin, including one of the winners!
