Congratulations to Kieren (Halogen author) for the convincing tournament victory.
Obviously the latest version of Halogen will play in a higher division in the next series, according to its rating.

Thanks to those who followed the tournament.
Always great to see some of the engine authors (plus others) following the broadcast.

[silentshark]

Thanks again for running, Graham. I agree, Halogen was a worthy winner. Congratulations to its author.

For a while, I hoped Francesca could keep up with Halogen, but it was not to be, falling further behind as time went on (and being pushed down to 3rd spot by Invictus).

Good tournament!
