Best,

I don't expect drastic changes from the current order, but we'll see. There can always be surprises, even after 44 rounds.

Cheers,
Graham.

My great expectations:

Arasan, Rotor, Garbo, Matacz and Hermann will go up

Amyan, Tornado, Anatoli and Cerebro will go down.

Still undecided on AnMon.

Lets see...

Best,

Amyan and Tornado are two of the strongest engines in the group.
I expected Matacz to struggle.
I am disappointed with Hermann. Hopefully it can recover.

Lots of interest in this one, I agree.

Cheers,
Graham.

Best,

It's so tight that things could quickly change, but I still expect Sloppy and Amyan to be the top two.
