Here is my try.

Takes Little Thought to kick ass! :D
If you are on a sidewalk and the covid goes beep beep
Just step aside or you might have a bit of heat
Covid covid runs through the town all day
Can the people ever change their ways
Sherwin the covid's after you
Sherwin if it catches you you're through

I dicovered a bug in Anatoli that can cause it to refuse to play en passant captures.
A bugfix (version 0.35k) is available on WBEC.

I looked through the games of this tournament and there is no sign that the bug had any effect.
So there is no need to replay games. But it's better to replace the engine asap, because of Murphy's law. :)

Hi Martin,

Anatoli 0.35k is in and I'm replaying the games. Good luck!

Cheers, Graham.

Aha, so you will replay the games nevertheless. :)
Well, perhaps the bug had a negative effect after all, although I didn't see anything really odd in the games of your tournament. It's hard to be sure, though.

In a game in OpenWar Anatoli didn't play an immediately winning ep capture. But it was lucky there, it still had some advantage, enough to win the game. :)
