Well they have finished, and now it is down to the final match between Nos. 1 and 2. One thing that bothers me a bit- and any serious testers have faced it, I completely forgot about. In a tournament set where the programmers are there running their engines, they handle it. But in a set-up such as mine, it would be up to me. I meant in the last 2 rounds to change the gui setting for "draws" to "Never". This would, or should, negate any 22 move or 35 move draws involving an engine that needs a win to stay in contention- but of course does not realize it.
In the last round, Bouquet and Ivanhoe 46h had an uneventful 28-move draw. And Ivanhoe ends 1 game behind Bouquet. Set to "no draw"- it could still of course have been one, and if it had not been a draw- there is no way to know that Ivanhoe would not have lost anyway. And if Ivanhoe had won- he and Bouquet would have been tied, and Bouquet may have very well also won the tiebreaker. But still- the point is clear.
Sort of like "If 'ifs and buts' were candy and nuts- oh what a Christmas we'd have!" This is to take nothing away from Bouquet and his fine play- just a thought that I will take into consideration from now on. I had already had to be sure the setting was on "Late Draw" for the RR. If not, we would have ended up with a shit-load of draws under move 20- some under move 15. For anyone who hasn't been in a coma for 2 or 3 years- I should not have to explain the reason for that. To the games.......
(As well as the "Final Standings", I will include the crosstable- which might be interesting to anyone who can magnify it.)

In the end, hats off to Critter and Bouquet- and we shall see them a bit later in the finals.
Shortly I will post the link for the PGN set of the entire RR, as well as the previous 13 RRs. As well, I will post the engines in the 14 different RR final matches.
