(12.0-12.0) Houdini 3 Tactical 64-bit v Komodo 5.1 64-bit

I'm unsure as to which will progress into the semi-finals, as Matthias has yet to implement sudden death deciders into knockout matches.

(8.0-16.0) Strelka 5.5 64-bit v Houdini 3 64-bit

I expected this to be a close affair, but Houdini 3 gave Strelka 5.5 a pants down botty smacking.

(14.0-10.0) Stockfish 4 64-bit v Critter 1.6a 64-bit

A good win for the new Stockfish.

(9.5-14.5) Rybka 4.1 64-bit v Komodo CCT 64-bit

In the final Round 1 match, Komodo CCT 64-bit showed that it is a force to be reckoned with, eliminating Rybka 4.1 64-bit to move through to the semi-finals.

(12.0-12.0) Stockfish 4 64-bit v Houdini 3 64-bit

Houdini 3 64-bit went ahead four times during this match, only for Stockfish 4 64-bit to draw level again each time.

Sadly, because there is no sudden death decider implemented in ChessGUI, it is a guess as to which engine will progress through to the grand final.

(13.5-10.5) Houdini 3 Tactical 64-bit v Komodo CCT 64-bit
