Hi Michael,

I'm looking forward to Romi debuting in CCRL 40/40. :D

Romi drew with Typhoon in Round 1.

Regards, Graham.

Graham, did the snitch tell you that?

<Begin Rolf impersonation>

I am dismayed that you would take the word of a snitch, Graham. You being a moderator should uphold a higher standard of behavior than to rely on the word of a snitch. However, I understand that not even moderators are perfect.

<End Rolf impersonation>

May be that you should rename the tournament, 'The snitch tells all'.

<End Tony Thomas impersonation>

:D

Strangely the only problem I had in Round 1 was with Snitch.
It wouldn't run as a uci engine under Arena. I had to reinstall it as a Winboard engine.
Now all is fine. Round 1 results will be posted later today. 8-)

The crime-boss (Tony) must have blown-up the safe-house (your computer) in an attempt to silence the snitch. :lol:
