Tournament results:

Arasan managed to get the same score as Belfish (Stockfish derivative) and the highest TPR, well done!

Yes, thanks for the tourney :)

Ethereal did well considering it was running on a Phenom II X6 1090T dating back to 2010 !

Funny thing is that atomNightmare (an old version of Nightmare running single core on a J3455) ended well above it's 30 times faster big brother. It shows that in a Swiss tournament with very little rounds everything is possible.

Some engines were missing (like all HGM's engines to name a few), some were late on the party (rofChade and Marvin).

The planning is to have the next tournament on the 18th of January.

Well, I just played a game against this and it came out of book on move 26 I think it was. That is a huge help when running on slower hardware.
