Alaric should have no problems winning. It really belongs in the 1-st division, according to my tests. Though I tested in blitz, in 40/40 it can be different theoretically.

Someone gotta vote for the old dog and ditch the new cat around the block. I voted for Pharaon.

Alaric is very strong and will do well... but....
Booot 4.13.1 will win this easily.

Look at these results for Booot 4.13.1
http://lyapko.ho.com.ua/lg0608r.htm
It rose from League F to League A
Not bad....

However, at Olivier's OpenWar Alaric 704 is completely eclipsing Booot 4.13.1 so now I don't know what to think....
Is Alaric 704 a big improvement over 702?

Not sure Ross, but it is an improvement.
I chose Alaric to win, but I also think that Booot will gain promotion.
The third promotion spot could be Colossus, Ufim, Pharaon or Twisted Logic.
Hopefully Trace will prove me wrong!

IMHO: 2-nd - Pharaon, 3-rd - Colossus.
