I'll most like be there (if our chess club is not open this week due to the lockdown)

Thanks for organizing this

Is this open to any engine level? I may try to get Blunder up and running if so.

Would be seriously good idea if a Zoom (?) meeting room be set up for tournament time ……

Belfish and Seer ended on top, Arasan came in second, Wasp got third place.

Zahak and CSTal both lost games because their engines crashed.

Nightmare lost from Zahak with a bad book variation, straight out of book his queen was trapped. Nightmare is getting a bit rusty, I haven't been working on it for more than a year. Standing still means going backwards.

Thanks for the tourney. I think my hash was too big for my actual RAM and OS killed the process. Next time I tone it down a bit.

I was too surprised by the book variation, I used a new book by Eduard seems to have interesting lines

Neat! Am I correct in understanding someone participated in this tourney with my engine (Seer) and if so who? and what is the meaning of the "RB" appended to the name? I've been considering participating with Seer in one of these tournaments myself out of curiosity so I'm quite happy to see someone beat me to it
