Thanks everyone! Very exciting indeed that Heimdall got 2nd place behind a Stockfish derivative :)

Looking forward to more games!

There is always some element of luck involved with these tournaments, that would be a difficult result to repeat !

As the tournament progressed I saw other engines' results and I knew Heimdall might do better than I expected. Its own draw against Belfish was important - that is usually a loss for engines that I enter.
