WCCC 2007: My predictions for the last rounds

[Peter Skinner]

Based on the games left, this is how I feel that WCCC2007 will end:

Code: Select all

Standings

Place Name         Feder Rtg Loc Score Berg. Wins

 1-2  Zappa,                     9     43.25    7
      Rybka,                     9     42.00    7
 3-5  Shredder,                  7.5   34.75    5
      GridChess,                 7.5   34.00    5
      Deep Sjeng,                7.5   33.75    5
  6   Loop,                      7     27.25    6
 7-8  Jonny,                     4.5   17.25    3
      Diep,                      4.5   15.50    3
  9   IsiChess,                  4     17.00    2
 10   The Baron,                 3.5   12.25    3
 11   The King,                  2.5    5.50    2
 12   micro-Max,                 0      0.00    0

This is of course based on these final 3 round predictions:

Code: Select all

Round 9
1 Shredder   1:0    micro-Max
2 The King   0:1    GridChess
3 Rybka      1:0    Diep
4 Zappa     .5:.5   Deep Sjeng
5 Loop       1:0    The Baron
6 Jonny   .  5:.5   IsiChess

Round 10
1 micro-Max  0:1	IsiChess
2 The Baron  1:0	Jonny
3 Deep Sjeng 1:0	Loop
4 Diep		 0:1    Zappa
5 GridChess .5:.5	Rybka
6 Shredder   1:0    The King

Round 11
1 The King   1:0	micro-Max
2 Rybka     .5:.5   Shredder
3 Zappa      1:0    GridChess
4 Loop		 1:0    Diep
5 Jonny      0:1    Deep Sjeng
6 IsiChess   0:1    The Baron

If this were to happen, Zappa and Rybka would technically tie for first as they are using SoP for tie break I believe.

No, no. Sjeng - Loop 0:1.

[Albert Silver]

Although the result for the Rybka-Grid is already in, my question would be why do you think Rybka would only draw against Grid while Zappa would win?

9/12.
Seems good but actually it's not so much, since at least 5-6 matches were too easy to predict.

Are you talking about their blitz game? Because GridChess - Rybka ended 0-1 for Rybka.
