Sorry Jan. Rotor couldn't quite move off the bottom.

[Andres Valverde]

Thx Graham, nice Dirty performance. What was the tie break method?

Thx Graham, nice Dirty performance. What was the tie break method?

Not sure. It's the default used in ChessGUI.
However, if I'm considering either EXchess or Dirty for promotion, I'll run a playoff match between them first.

Nice match, indeed

Gaviota just can't seem to finish on a high note. Hopefully the 39th series will go better. Congratulations to Gunnar for the win, and to both Dan and team Dirty for the second place finishes.

And thank you Graham for running the tournaments, going through the trouble to broadcast them, and sharing the results. Thumbs up to you!

As I mentioned to Adam before, a sport psychologist will give Gaviota +30 elo

Miguel
PS: I join in the congratulations!

It's no problem, believe me.
I'm just glad that some others can get some enjoyment out of them too!
