The tourney went without problems, no server crash, so it seems the server problem has been solved.
PlentyChess and StrongMalt both ended on top with 8 points (73% score).
Belfish didn't manage to win this time, which is remarkable.

Nightmare was a little bit unlucky this time, I didn't touch my engine for seven years or so, maybe time to start working on it again.

I hope to see you all next time!

Thanks Joost. And happy with shared first place.

The tournament ran very smoothly, and yes StrongMalt was very impressive.
