Online transmission - I don't know if it will work for the whole tournament, it's via modem, where there is a data limit.
It originally started with three, but when the new Dragon came out and I bought Revenge, I expanded the tournament to four.
There was one game in the cancelled one, where Ethereal only drew Dragon 2.5.1 (1.g4?!), so he'll get another chance against 2.6.

Next 1.Nh3
If Stockfish survives this, I don't think he'll lose a single game. Nh3 is probably the last resort. The question is, what about Revenge? He looks better than Ethereal in those first quick tests here, but not here. Three options:
1.He's ineffective for long periods of time.
2.It doesn't orient properly in the weird positions that have been played so far.
3.Can't launch without theory in general. His net is not sufficient yet. This would also apply to point 2.
1.Nh3
1.-2.Stockfish, Dragon 4, 3.-4.Ethereal, Revenge 2
Next 1.Na3
Weird last move. The next 10 or so just give away white's advantage. Then the finals.
1.Na3
1.Stockfish 4, 2.Dragon 3.5, 3.Ethereal 2.5, 4.Revenge 2.
Next 1.h4 Still a strange opening, but I have seen games at championship level where Black's careless approach got him into trouble.
1.b4
1.Stockfish 4, 2.-3.Dragon, Revenge (!) 3, 4,Ethereal 2.
The first case where an engine with a higher position in the table was defeated. Eventually, it is possible that as they gradually play a more normal launch that Revenge will make up the loss.
Ethereal is the only one so far to lose a variant, namely 1.h4, for both sides.
1.f4
1.Dragon (!) 4, 2.Stockfish 3.5, 3.Ethereal 2.5, 4.Revenge 2.
Well, there's a change in the first place. Even if only by virtue of more wins against weaker teams, not after a mutual battle. Stockfish won't lose a single game in this tournament, I'd bet on it.
Next 1.a4 Now there will follow seven such uninteresting moves, only b3 of which has the character of an independent opening, the rest usually being converted into some other variant. But none of them should lead to White's disadvantage.
1.a4
1.Stockfish 4, 2.Dragon 3.5, 3.Revenge 3, 4.Ethereal 1.5
For the second time in the tournament, again Ethereal, lost the engine variant for both sides.
