The top engine will gain automatic promotion and the bottom engine will face automatic relegation. The fate of the second top and second to bottom engines and perhaps others will be determined by grading matches before the next series.
This will be the final series for Queen unless a new version is released before the next series begins.
I will post updates here after every six rounds.

My thoughts on the field for this division and how things might go:
I'm picking Xpdnt to win promotion. David has done a fine job getting rid of a troublesome bug and improving the strength of his engine.
BBChess, Counter and Pupsi2 have all played in Division 3 at some stage, so will be challenging hard at the top.
Gaviota has had mixed results for me to date, but should finish in the upper half of the field.
There doesn't seem to be a lot amongst the other engines in the field - N2, Philou, Delphil, Typhoon, RomiChess, Queen and Dirty.
It should be a good fight in the lower half of the table.

Well, four engines for the bottom three:
N2, Philou, Queen and Gaviota.
Best,
Well, unfortunately for us, for the bottom two : Queen and Dirty.
