42nd Amateur Series Division 7

Alas! I was hoping and dreaming this could be my time, but again I see the first position is slipping away from ProChess' fingers...
What puzzles me is that my engine has been the same for nearly a year but is getting better and better results in your marvellous Amateur series. Where's the trick?

Anyway this is one of the tournament that induces me to collect ideas for a new version. Thankyou Graham for insisting with my engine

ProChess had a great start and has maintained its high position for a good number of rounds.
However, with no disrespect intended, it has performed well above its seeding so far.
I would expect ProChess to start slipping down the points table over the rest of the tournament.
Should be interesting regardless and good luck.

Well Eduardo - ProChess is making a liar out of me!
Nice performance by your engine.

A great mistery...
Maybe ProChess is like the wine,
it improves with the time...
