Indeed. Looking at the games, I wonder how Delfi made it to the quarter finals.

I especially like the first game. A tactical slugfest !

But unfortunately, it looks like Bison will stop DiscoCheck from reaching the final

[Graham Banks]

Second seeded Bison 9.11 64-bit moved through to the Final with a 5.5-2.5 (+5 =1 -2) victory over the fourth seeded upcoming star DiscoCheck 4.0.3 64-bit.

[Graham Banks]

Third seeded Chronos 1.9.9 64-bit defeated fifth seeded Dirty 5Sep2012 64-bit 4.5-3.5 (+2 =5 -1) in a close tussle.

Reaching the semi-final was still a creditable effort though.
