HIARCS defended a draw against Junior in the last round to take the World Chess Software Championship, for the second year running.

And for the second year running, it is meaningless.

The top engines were not there, and the number of games were tiny. There are lots of equal hardware ratings lists out there, with ALL the engines and hundreds of games per engine. Those are far more relevant.

Its not meaningless.

It would be nice to see Houdini vs. Hiarcs handicap match...with one pawn odd or maybe more...

Pandix ?
Merlin ?

Who are these engines ?
Never heard of them, and I cannot find them in either CCRL or CEGT rating lists.

It looks like Merlin forgot his magic wand on the way to Yokohama: 0/12... ouch!

Disqualified!

You don't know who Pandix is ? Maybe you are to Young.

No, Lucas is disqualified for his WCCC bashing, disrespectfulness, and complete incompetence. Who is Pandix? Who is Merlin?
