One minute before tournament start the server went down, strange because it has been stable for several years, sometimes these things just happen. All players lost connection, so we waited for 10 minutes to let them log on again. Unfortunately Amoeba and RubyChess didn't make it back in time, hopefully next time things will be better, without server crash.

Belfish won the tournament (Stockfish is still a little bit stronger than the rest of the programs). ChessSystemTal ended on a clear second place.

I had to leave my computer before tournament start, found my client disconnected when I returned and blamed my setup which I hadn't tested before, so I didn't try to reconnect. Bad luck, maybe next time.

Same here except I didn't blame my setup but my internet connection... Amoeba came back at 20:20 CEST, but it was too late as another round was starting.

Sorry mate missed this will try more for next month. Thank you for all you do.
