Congratulations to Christophe (KnightX author), Rik (Mess author) and Andy (Odonata author) for sharing top spot. Should be interesting trying to find a way to promote all three engines, but I'll try.

Thanks to those who followed the tournament.
The broadcast was well-supported and it was great seeing so many of you there.
