Division 3/4 Playoff
Typhoon 1.00-358 v Rotor 0.4

Rotor is rated slightly above Typhoon on CCRL, but so far lost all games (2) against Typhoon!
Should be a close match...

I think that Rotor will win, but it does promise to be tough as you say. Good luck.

Division 3/4 Playoff
(4.5-5.5) Typhoon 1.00-358 v Rotor 0.4

Phew, that was close, more luck than wisdom as we say.
I now feel the urge growing to try and improve rotor to avoid degradation next time around

Thanks Graham and the other CCRL'ers for running this tournament.
And of course Ray for moral support!
