I pick WildCat 7 to be the winner of this Division

Spoken like a true WildCat 7 fanatic!

I think it's Spike's turn to win after being upset by Scorpio last time.

Hi Graham, It's good to see SlowChess getting another shot at the championship. Spikes even more powerful this time around while Slows development seems to have come to a halt. I think Spike will take it. I'll be watching this one!
Thanks,
Rick Andrews

Of Course, when I predicted this outcome I missed seing Spike 1.2 .

Hi Rick,

I hope that the author of SlowChess is able to further improve his engine at some stage also.
Although it would be a shock if Spike didn't take this one out, I'll be enjoying the battle at the other end to avoid the three relegation spots.

Regards, Graham.
