Hi,

very interesting games so far....

low draw rate, only 8 draws in 18 games: 44%
i expected a draw rate near 70 %.
only 3 engines with no loss so far: Stockfish, Rybka and Gull....

what do you think which engine will be on second and third place? The 1. place is reserved for stockfish i think....
I still think Junior will not be on the last place after the last (11.) round....

here the Standing after round 3:
