I noticed some unusual behaviour from Scorpio in this tournment. In two games, it spent 45 minutes on it's first move ! In others it was a more reasonable 10 minutes or so. Perhaps Scorpio thought those positions out of book were complex or warranted concern, and spent extra time.

Arena performed flawlessly, and it was great to see the engines pondering.
