There were several great games including the last game between
Rybka and Naum. At one point (late in game), both engines were
claiming a score of 0 in a very dynamic position but they pressed on.
Eventually, Naum announced mate in 53.

A tough day for the West. Telepath (vs. Oxygen) was the only board that the West won, and the only drawn matches were Buzz (vs. Joker) and LearningLemming (vs. DIEP). Overall a fun event though...nice long games compared to most tournaments and an incredibly good ratio of program author participation vs. operator. Also some very good sportsmanship displayed, with Oxygen getting a game despite being 2 1/2 hours late, and Naum generously logging back in to finish its game vs. Rybka after a 2 hour disconnection due to power outages.

I blame the loss of west on Richard Pijl. How dare he compete with two of the best engines in the same tournament? I think that west should be allowed to have two Rybkas.
