77th Amateur Series Division 2

[Graham Banks]

Can't recall having this issue with previous versions though.

I just checked version 1.12 which has the same 'issue'. I will update this for the next version but don't know when it will be released.

Might just be on this particular machine, as I ran a gauntlet without any problems whatsover on my i7.

Congratulations to Dennis (Schooner author) on taking top spot and promotion back into the dreaded Division1!

At this stage, RubiChess is also likely to promote.

Thanks to all who took an interest in the tournament. The live broadcast was well supported.
