Thanks to Andrew (Ethereal), Richard (Amoeba), Sander (chess22k) plus any others who supported the live broadcast.

Congatulations to Milos for the fine win by Xiphos.

[PK]

Indeed, Xiphos is a fine engine already, and has lots of room for improvement. I wouldn't be surprised if it gains 200 Elo by the end of the year. Its evaluation function has 220 lines including the GPL header. Congratulations!
