Congratulations to Richard (The Baron author) for holding off engines or engine versions that are much more recent than his.

A popular tournament if the broadcast numbers were anything to go buy. Thanks to all of you who took an interest.

A great tournament Graham! Thanks as usual for running it. Neck and neck until the last two rounds and good conversation among the developers too
