Congratulations to Volker (Qapla author) for winning this division, and gaining automatic promotion for the next series.

Thanks to everybody who took an interest.
It was good seeing some of you in the broadcast.

[seawall]

Thanks for including seawall in this tournament. It was interesting to watch as I had never tested it with this sort of time control, or against any of these engines. I would obviously have hoped for better results, but at least seeing it struggle revealed a lot of things that could be improved easily, so progress has been good this week.
