(The ratings are averages from CCRL and CEGT blitz lists.)

Pro Deo 1.5 had a good tournament, winning 3.5-0.5 against Alaric 707 and drawing the mini match against Glaurung 2.0.1. The Rest are not big surprises, maybe with the exception that a quite good engine like Delfi 5.2 didn't score a single win here.

Highlights: See 103.Nxc4! in the first game (by Glaurung) and 68.Nxc7! in the second game (by Pro Deo):

Some questions: why was the game above set as 1-0 at all?
I don't see a timeloss indicated, a bug in Arena or a wrong adjudication
setting?
BTW 103. Nxc4(?) probably was played only because the 100 ply
horizon would have been reached soon and Glaurung did not yet
show a 0.00 score, but of course the final position was bad for White!
(e.g. after 121. Ke7 Nd4 122. Kd8 Be6 123. Ke7 f5 124. Kf6 Bc8 125. exf5
Nxf5 126. Kxg5 Nd4 127. Kxh4 Nxf3+ 128. Kg3 Nd4 129. h4 Nxb5...
not 100% sure though, if completely lost, because of the reduced material)

[Mike S.]

You are right. I must have had a blackout when adjudicating the end position. The game reached the (optional) move limit of 120 and therefore was automatically stored as a draw, by Arena. When reviewing the end position (which I always do in such cases), I was confused somehow. Both engines were showing clear Black advantage anyway. 0-1 seems justified.

(vermutlich infolge Restalkohols )
