Congratulations to both the Cheers and Monty authors for sharing top spot in this division and gaining automatic promotion for the next series.

As usual, many thanks to those of you who either followed or took an interest in this tournament.

Hello Graham,
Why don't you test Monty's prerelease version, where you can find the executables on Monty's Github Page? Currently, it's winning against latest Patricia dev in my computer, which tested nearly +60~70 elos compared to Patricia 5. Current Monty should at least be +500 elos from Monty 1.
Best Regards...

I use official releases.

There is little point testing pre-release versions when your primary aim is maintaining a rating list.

[abgursu]

It's currently the only release in their Github. If the aim of the ratinglist is to show people their engine's strenght, whether they own it or use it, that version is the only downloadable version. That should fit your aim, no?

It's not been designated by the author as an official release, so no unfortunately.
Once you start testing developmental versions, where does it all stop?
