In conclusion, congratulations to Richard and Lime for their win, and also a thank- you to all the programmers who made this possible. Certainly all programs performed well- and the authors should be proud. The PGNs for the entire 36 rounds can be gotten from geotsp8@aol.com. Write, and they will be attached back to you that day. Again, thanks to all.

I'm going to print this and put it on my wall...

Thanks for tunning the tournament! First time Lime has ever benn no.1



(Even if the overall strength wasn't high)

I admit Rybka and Fritz were not in it, but Lime still had to play darn good chess to win by the margin it did. Congratulations!

Best,

[Graham Banks]

First time Lime has ever been no.1

And hopefully not the last Richard!
Thanks for Lime.

Cheers, Graham.
