and my predictions for this group are totally wrong.
Best,
Still a long way to go and there will likely be changes in the order.
I expected that Counter would do better, and I'm still picking that it will move away from the bottom places.

40 moves in 38 minutes repeating (adapted for the CCRL)

The top engine will gain automatic promotion and the bottom engine will face automatic relegation. The fate of the second top and second to bottom engines and perhaps others will be determined by grading matches before the next series.
This will be the final series for Queen unless a new version is released before the next series begins.

When you say, '3-4-5 piece tablebases', These are simply made available to the engines, that use them, right?
Thanks again for these tournaments!

Hi David,
yes, the tablebases are available for the engines that use them. However, the GUI is set to automatically adjudicate any tablebase positions with 5 pieces or less, and this applies to all games.
