That's no surprise really, Zappa scored 10.5/11 and won the world championship few years ago.

[Werner]

My congrats go to Vas and his team for the new titel:

Computer Chess Champion 2007!

Rybka 2.3.2a played really strong!

[Tony Thomas]

Does anyone know the results or the current standing of Zappa vs Gridchess match?

[Yarget]

Zappa won the game which means that Loop finishes 3rd in the tournament after Rybka and Zappa.
