Spike had a very strong second cycle, this is getting interesting ! Maybe it is well suited to these conditions - ponder on, with a long-ish time control. pgn available here

Unfortunately Bright has been a bit of a problem and slowed me down - on one game I saw it just stop thinking, CPU usage dropped to zero and it lost on time. Another game it lost on time and the tournament continued. Another 2 times Arena hung, which I think was also caused by Bright. Could be a problem for it playing with ponder on perhaps. My previous 90+30 went from beginning to end without a hitch. Anyway, those games were re-played and things are running fine again
90+30 2nd cycle - Spike takes over the lead
