Don't forget Sjeng, who played a very strong tournament, and Buzz, the only engine apart from Rybka and Sjeng which didn't lose a single game.

I had a brief look at Stockfish's games tonight, and it is clear that its third place was entirely undeserved. It got a free point in the first round (it seems that the opponent didn't show up), and somehow managed to get 1.5/2 from technically lost positions out of the book against Pandix and Spark. Sjeng, Hiarcs, Thinker, Crafty and Diep didn't play anywhere close to their best against Stockfish.

Stockfish was also helped by a massive hardware advantage compared to most of the participants, which surely explains some of its luck.

Thx Tord, but Dirty (not Buzz, account name) lost the first 4 games because the operator had "technical" problems.

Well I would say hardware of Stockfish was dwarfed by that of the next competitors:

Rybka: Intel Cluster 52 CPU

Deep Sjeng: Cluster

Stockfish: Intel Q6600 (4 cpu)

HIARCS: Intel 8 Core Skulltrail

spark02: Mac Pro Dual Xeon 8 cpus


So I would think SF hardware, although very nice powerful in absolute value (I would dream to have a Q6600 Quad ;-) ) it was way smaller then the others, I mean the others of the leading group.

Actually, Sjeng didn't play on a cluster, even though it was supposed to. I'm not sure what happened.

Sure, there were a few participants with even faster hardware, but Stockfish's hardware was much faster than most of the field. :)
