Four shots at top 6. I say not bad!

Other two, Now and Chispa, were for me out of prediction.

ZCT is almost in TOP 20, but buzz is hopeless at 50. place.

Best,

I'll spoil it for you, Brutus is now leading after 99 Rounds! NOW in the second place trails by 1 point and 1 round as well IIRC. Well done, Stephan. :D

This time, Uly's strategical concepts are
turned out to be more superior than my one.

Lets wait for the final standings.

What do you mean? I just put all the picks of everyone in a big pile and then picked the 5 most popular engines for my list, NOW made 6th because it was at the top of the poll list :mrgreen:

Madeleiene and Yoda 1.3 - Games restarted. So will probably post the results later tonight.

Btw, Thanks to many people who tried to send me Yoda 1.3 but Tony Mokonen had already sent me the files.

That strategy is indeed superior. I see some sharp improvement in your betting skills.
