Oooh, DiscoCheck is falling down the list. Fight DC, fight!

Don't worry, it's still too early to look at the rankings. For example DiscoCheck, after round 18, is 1.5 points below #2 and 2 points above #12, and ex aequo with 2 others: a few rounds and all the rankings can be reshuffled.

Anyway, if DC finishes #6 (or better), I would be happy already. But what would make me even happier, is knowing that it didn't crash or lose on time in any of the games. DC 3.6.2 still doesn't reserve enough time buffer to accomodate slow GUIs in tournament time control.

Go Octochess, go!

Results after Round 18 had me worried a bit, but now it looks a lot better

Very tight points spread as expected. All the best for the remaining rounds.
