What are Hansdamf and Tzunami?
Are these relabeled engines that we already know or something out of the blue.

It is fairly unusual to see engines we have never seen before doing well against known, strong opposition.

Hansdamf is the successor of IsiChess.

Tzunami is a new engine, whose first appearance was at the Dutch Open of 2008. It was designed for efficient parallel search, but at the time was still riddled with bugs. Many of these bugs have been corrected now.

Very impressive result for Hansdamf in the early going!

[Graham Banks]

exactly.its time for gerd.

Gerd has worked hard over a long period of time, so any success would indeed be well deserved.

Wow my 7 minute wonder somehow got on the private engine list. That's cool I guess.

De Hansdampf im Schnäggeloch hät alles was er will.
Und was er will, das hät er nöd,
und was er hät, das will er nöd.
De Hansdampf im Schnäggeloch hät alles was er will.

I was told it was a Book Win, was it? I have not had time to look at the game yet.

[Gian-Carlo Pascutto]

Depends on what you call a book win. White had a great position out of book, but black could probably have put up stiffer resistance.
