Comments:

A very even round this time!

As always I recommend you to download the pgn file and play through
the games, it was quite a nice collection of games this round.

Crafty got a nice win vs Loop, Twisted Logic got a nice win vs Bison
and the same thing can said about Arasan's win vs WildCat.

The Violet Team is still holding on to a lead with 4 rounds to go, but
now the Red, Green and Orange Teams are really closing in. It can
appear as the last 4 rounds will be very exciting.

Feel free to comment in my threads as well, I hope people are
following the tournament even if I don't get any feedback. :)

Round 7 is well underway so the next update shouldn't be too far away.

Good! :)

This is what you wrote in my poll-thread:

Olive is my first pick, but I think Red will be the biggest threat to them.

Awesome to have you following the tournament, Miguel!

I hope you are satisfied with Gaviota's games so far.
It is the top scorer for the Red Team with 4.5 points. :D

Best Regards,
Martin

I think I picked green, because Shredder & Spark are 2 of my favorite engines. 3rd isn't too bad, we'll come back in the next rounds :D.

P.S. Great idea for a tournament, I might run something like this soon :).
