Thanks to the engine authors for their interest.
Division 3 has been the most popular (and usually hotly contested) division over the past few series.

Thank You for the tournament, a lot of lessons to be learned from Rodent's games. In the first half it showed some promise, then the poor thing slackened off. Rodent definately loses some ground (and search depth) in the endgame,

[Andres Valverde]

Thanks for the tour Graham, time for a new Dirty it seems...
