Yes - it seems that Cupcake could be outclassed in this field.

I'll probably run another tournament soon that will include Cupcake and some engines that missed out on Division 7 - Dabbaba, Adroitchess, Ziggurat and Jabba amongst others.

Just tell me if you want the newest version of Dabbaba - I am still trying to improve it...

Hi Graham,
Some of us like to see the lesser programs, that is the level of my personal rating. There is no shame in having a division 8 for also rans and qualifying.

Just a thought.

Hi Jens-Baek,

it's best if you release a new version only when you're happy to do so. No pressure from me.
The existing version could do with a few more games in the meantime anyway.

No problem from my point of view. Either a Division 8 or an alternative tournament as I mentioned.
