Hi Graham!

Thanks for including KMT Chess in your tournament.
Have you a bigger resolution image from the icon? I find it very nice.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your engine. KMT Chess deserves its spot in this field and is showing this. :)
Unfortunately I don't have a bigger resolution image. You should be aware that I construct my logos by cutting and pasting free images from the internet. I'm no graphics artist.

Cheers,
Graham.

Tough times for BigLion, but its rank here is as expected.
As Leo may use BigLion as a reference point in WBEC, I feel like working on a new engine instead that optimally supports normal chess, Chess960, and many more variants (including 10x8 chess). A better ArcBishop.
A jack of all trade, master of ALL :wink:

Matthias.
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

Bad start for Sungorus, although it fortunately recovered :)
