Congratulations to both Conor (Stormphrax author) and Kieran (Halogen author) for sharing top spot in this division.

Thanks to everybody who followed the tournament.
It was nice seeing many of the regulars in the broadcast.

Hi Graham,

1. In your first message I found ... Midnight 8.0 64-bit
Later chess.cpp is playing the tournament.
Could you give me more information about chess.cpp ...
Link, name of programmer, country?

2. z5 is playing your tournament.
I am looking a bit and found the engine.
I think from Portugal, do you know the name of the programmer?

Thanks for your tournaments.
I can find all the years great information for my own tournaments.

Best
Frank

Hi Conor,

thank you!

Hi there,

I will try out the engine for my own tournament.

I am not sure which of the important mingw *.dll files are important!?
https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds- ... s/releases


I copy all of the files in engine directory and Chess.cpp 4.0 NN works fine.

Best
Frank
