It seems that Americas didnt lose any team matches. It was nice of you to include Chess Tiger in Americas team tho. I thought that you had Colossus in place at one time.

I am confused now, what engine did I talk to you about when I asked you if it was stronger than Crafty? May be I misread your results the last time I talked to you.
