Bouquet and Houdini_3 see score 0.00
Sting, go score 1.53 and perfect play and win.
Bouquet is blind.

As a result of this thematic tournament, some lines that have been suggested in various opening books have been proven bad, whereas some interesting moves have come into consideration in other lines/positions.

It is unfortunate though, that such new knowledge comes at a cost to the engines whose results suffer in the tournament.

I'll be running a Scandinavian thematic soon. :)

Hiarcs might be the strongest of the old updated commercials (old school? modern school would refer to it being a "clone").
