Just a small sample of games so far (18 rounds).
Things could easily change during the rest of the tournament.

Don't be disheartened, it's just statistics. In these short matches with a limited number of games *anything* can happen. This could all be restarted and your engine might be #1 after the same number of games. You need thousands and thousands of games (at varying time controls) to really measure your engines strength.

It's really curious that Andscacs has returned from hell winning 7 games in a row

Fantastic turnaround. Probably the best comeback I've seen in any of my tournaments.

Congratulations on the turnaround and welcome to the woolly fun world of statistics! Now we just need a few thousand more games to get Andscacs real rating. Isn't chess programming fun?
