To be 100% clear: you meant 21:00 CET, not 21:00 CEST, right?

[hgm]

Well, actually I just copy-pasted it from last month without thinking.

What I actually meant was when the clocks read 9 pm in Amsterdam, and 3pm in Boston.

Which would be "3pm EDT (21:00 CEST)", right?

I probably won't be there but you can force join GnuCheese.

[Evert]

Ok, I'll try to be there (ie, I'll try to join the tournament at 9 and have my laptop around to monitor the tournament).

Looks like I'll be running Jazz single core though, since the multi-core version seems to have time management issues (not a huge surprise, since the logic for when to check the clock wasn't written with multiple threads in mind, but I didn't see it in my earlier testing). Quick attempts to fix it seem are apparently not enough, so I'll have to sit down and do it properly

On the plus side, that means I could have Leonidas play as well.

Because of the confusion about the starting time Capivara missed the start of the tourney. (And I still haven't fixed mamer to accept late joins yet.) Sorry about that. Baron seemed to have lost connection near the end of the tourney; I gave it a draw against Arminius because the game had not started, but when it later disconnected (or the server noticed it had disconnected, I forfeited it for the last two rounds).

Critter did not manage to get alongside Rybka by drawing the last round against GNU Chess 5.50. Micro-Max had a surprisingly strong tourney.

Yes Critter stumbed at the last hurdle, a first equal was thrown away with that last game.

[Michel]

This was a fairly sharp game with GNU Chess (as white) having both an advanced passed pawn and an exposed king. In the end the two canceled each other out.
