Arasan - Scorpio was interesting too, with both engines thinking they had the better endgame (even excluding the eval of 999.99 for 46. Qxf6 :)) It looks like Scorpio was winning until it blundered with 47...g5. Perhaps it didn't realize the danger of White's passed pawns at all?

Hmm okay, I have the lag-free timing feature enabled so it shouldn't
be a huge difference then. I have also disabled stuff like graphics etc.
If the lag-free timing feature is enabled, you can enable graphics, etc.

Under Windows XP x64, I always use the lag-free timing feature.
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

Yes, I agree it was very interesting.

PS: I've corrected the bad eval at 46.Qxf6 with the proper one from the logs, it will be correct as soon as the current game is finished.

Gracias Martin for organizing this tournament. It was a lot of fun to follow some of the games live with the chat.

I am really happy gaviota could avoid relegation so it will play next time!
