Congratulations to Vladimir (GreKo author) for winning the division and gaining promotion for the next series.

Thanks to everybody who took an interest.
It was great to see some of the engine authors visiting the broadcast.

[MartinBryant]

And huge thanks to you too Graham!
Not just for running it but also for broadcasting it.
I found it fascinating to watch and it highlighted several weaknesses in Colossus which I hope to address.
There were some boring games, some funny games and some utterly insane tactical games!

Please can you let me know if you run another tourney with my latest 2021b version?

Cheers,
Martin
