Graham,
As always thanks for running this tournament. You testers are definitely a crazy, indispensable bunch.
This tournament has gone well for Djinn, (which doesn't happen as often as I'd like). But besides that, I've really enjoyed the variety of opponents. Normally, I only test against 4-5 fixed opponents, so having a larger pool of opponents is useful and nice. It's highlighted some things I need to improve. I've also been looking through the games and it's interesting to compare the various evaluation changes as the games progress. The scores are all over the place, which keeps things lively to say the least.

Thanks as always for your interest and encouragement.
It pleases me that these games are of use to engine authors.
Looking forward to seeing how Djinn will cope in a higher division next time.
