A Small Tourney with Hiarcs 12

I wanted to make a tourney with the latest HIARCSs and Rybka. I also included Thinker as it's my top freeware, but it seems it's in a different league altogether (It got a huge ELO hit, and that means the other freewares will be rated even lower.)

Nothing can be concluded by the 20 games, but I have to say that HIARCS Paderborn 2007 is worth it, and I hope that the testing groups test it. Enjoy the games.
