It is a shame in this position that Prodeo did not have the necessary depth or endgame knowledge to see that 89. ... b4! would have drawn the game.

89. ... b4! should really be 90. b4!.15 minutes seems a little too short for correcting errors

Re: Testing Selective Search - Computer Chess Fun Olympiad 2
Round 4 in Group A is complete and the results are as follows:
Team Mephisto really hit form in this Round and really stuck it to Team Atari. There were however loads of good games in this encounter. Here is an example of one of the many interesting games:
[Event "Chess Computer Olympiad 2010 - Group A"]
[Site "Hoover, Alabama, USA"]
[Date "2009.12.21"]
[Round "4.2"]
[White "Mephisto London 68020, 60/19m"]
[Black "Atari 800 - Sargon III, LV 5."]
[Result "1-0"]

[d]r6r/pb1pkppp/4pn2/1B2q3/8/2N5/PPP3PP/R2Q1R1K w - - 0 17
Sargon III played the opening better and leads by a pawn. However, 16. ... Bb7? was not the best move and this allows Mephisto London to get back into the game. The London software which is available for several TOP END dedicated Mephisto computers is known for it's defensive game, considered by many collectors to be a very dour and boring style of play. But, here London shows that it can also play some very exciting chess. See how London forces black's King on a chase around the board starting with a nice Rook sacrifice.

Modern Engines Am/Pro also hit good form against Classic Engines and needed to, considering it's loss to Neo Engines in an earlier Round. With Classic Engines having beaten Neo Engines also in an earlier Round, Classic Engines may have started this match as slight favorites.

Most of the games in this 5 Ply tournament are decided in the Endgame. The better players in low ply games seem to always have better endgame knowledge. This game is an example of this where Ikarus needlessly allows the exchange of it's Bishop. Also see how SmarThink's two Black pawns out maneuver White's three pawns!

With Modern Engines having to play Team Mephisto in Round 5, Neo Modern needed a big win to stay close to Modern Engines. Only the will tell if this score is sufficient for a chance to finish second.
I have been quite impressed with the play from the DOS program Grandmaster Chess so far in this Tournament. I am not sure who the author is for this chess program. If anyone knows then please let me know.

Here is another position that looks drawish. This time it is the engine that makes the mistake in the endgame. Throughout this game Prodeo 1.1 seemed to have the edge, but Grandmaster held on and now wins the game.

The Table after 4 rounds is as follows:
Team Mephisto 68020 qualifies for the next stage. Team Modern Engines look favorites for the second qualification spot. However, technically Neo Classic and Classic Engines still have an outside chance to qualify.
After 8 games the individual program performances are as follows:
Four undefeated programs remain. Gromitchess 1.2 is the only program without any points so far.

Re: Testing Selective Search - Computer Chess Fun Olympiad 2
Yes with hindsight I should have perhaps made it a complete 68020 Team by including Portorose and Almeria and placing Maggie and MP in another Team.
