Bobcat 3.25 64-bit and Dirty 5Sep2012 64-bit fought out a 4.0-4.0 draw (+2 =4 -2).

Not sure which engine will go through, but I guess we'll find out soon enough.

I'm sure you'll find the most dirty way

Discocheck survives! I think it might be the tournament favourite now.

Yes, maybe we'll see a DiscoCheck vs Dirty final, if Dirty survives the coin flip.

Yeah, DiscoCheck clearly outplayed Crafty on the coin flip

Actually I Looked at the games of DiscoCheck vs Crafty, and the first one seems to show a strange bug in Crafty:

Besides the fact that DC was too greedy and fell into a trap in the opening, the game eventually became a draw. Instead of going for the perpetual (drawing by 50-move) Crafty chose to reset the 50-move counter by giving a pawn, and then another, and eventually it backfired, as the two rooks are stronger than the queen, and the compact K+P formation eventually made it to promotion.

Perhaps there are some hacks in Crafty to try and avoid drawing to easily, and it backfired there?

Without that mistake Crafty would have won 4.5-3.5

** edit ** maye this 17. Nxe4 was not a bad move. It's hard to say, and I'm not a good enough chess player myself to know whether the resulting imbalanced material was ok for black or not. As it turned out in the game, DiscoCheck proved that it was perfectly playable. I don't know what opening theory says?

Bison 9.11 64-bit secured a Semi Final berth with a narrow 4.5-3.5 (+4 =1 -3) win over the gallant Philou 3.71 64-bit.
