No luck this time. I expected The Baron to perform better :(
Anyway, congrats Nick.


Richard
Thanks Richard. I was fortunate with 4 balanced average performances in this match.

Amazing how Gandalf did so good in this match and so bad in your previous match. Same with Prodeo in my Team. Did the best in the first match and the worst in this match.

I guess anything can happen when the opponents are within 100 Elos of each other in a short match.

Luck favors the Lucky :P regards

Yep - doesn't really matter who chooses first or last. Everybody was in with a fair chance. That's reflected in the very tight scores of most matches.

Cheers,
Graham.

Ah, better luck next time. I didn't expect Aristarch to perform this well. I retract my criticism against poor old Aristarch :?
Looking forward to finals.
@Nick: Good luck, Nick! You do have balanced set of equally strong engines.
