Hi Graham-

I downloaded the last couple games. In round 36 it seems that Cyclone scored 1-0 against Wildcat, but it's posted as 0-1.

from http://kirill-kryukov.com/chess/discuss ... f=7&t=4057

Round 36

WildCat 8 v Cyclone 2.2 (1-0)
Toga II 1.4.1SE v Fruit 2.3.1 (1-0)
Scorpio 2.02b v Thinker 5.3b Inert (draw)
Booot 4.14.0 v Glaurung 2.1 (draw)
Delfi 5.4 v Grapefruit 1.0 (0-1)
Stockfish 1.01 v Bright 0.3a (0-1)

Not sure if this affects the standings...

I'd guess it was just a typo, It didn't affect the standing - From the CCRL forum, I see that Cyclone was 21 after 34 rounds, and 2 wins, now 23/36.

[kranium]

yep,
thanks swami!

[Graham Banks]

yep,
thanks swami!

Sorry Norm. I'm good at making the odd typo.

as we all are!

no problem...shit happens!
i downloaded the game only because i was quite surprised to see that wildcat had won...

(if cyclone has any chance here at all, even remote, it can't afford to lose any of the remaining games, especially against weaker opponents!).

it's a great tournament, many thanks for running it!
