Is that not premature? Playoff second game is still in progress. Booot won the first.

Playoffs, I had no idea there were playoffs. I thought Booot had won ahead of all others...

I just heared Komodo has resigned to play the remaining games and Booot is the new champion..

Can someone confirm that "Boot" is still written in Pascal / Delphi?

Booot 6.3.1 is open source, and it is indeed written in Pascal/Delphi.

Don't take my words seriously. The match is still supposed to be running... Although it seems stucked at Round 12..

I am rooting for Booot..
