Comments:

A very even 9th round. Two draws and one narrow victory - the Blue Team won vs the Green Team.

The Olive Team will face the Green Team in the last round, the Blue and
Orange Teams will clash so the final standings are yet to be decided.

As always, please download the games and feel free to comment!

Well at least it's close!

Well at least it's close!

It's indeed very close.

I am wondering why Thinker is performing so badly though,
it's playing in native WB mode in Arena.

Also, Alaric is performing horribly. It's crashed at least 4 times on
different occasions during the tournament, forcing me to replay the
relevant games and wasting time.

Onno 1.2.2 64-bit has replaced Onno 1.1.1 64-bit*.

Actually it is Onno 1.2.1

Yes, Thinker has wrecked my prediction. I use the wb2uci adapters for Thinker in my testing.

It states clearly 1.2.2 when you check that page and when you open your download.

Yes Graham, but all is not over yet!
