I count 9 wins, 0 losses, and no less than 15 draws for Stockfish so far. Rather boring, but I guess we can't complain as long as we hold a shared first place.

One thing to bear in mind is there are several super strong engines (bright,thinker and grapefruit) in this field. As strong as stockfish is one cannot expect a a runaway victory with such strong opponents.
