Hi Graham,
This was one of the most exciting and suspenseful tournaments that I've had the pleasure to follow. The newly beefed-up iCE and Atlas edged out the old warrior Naum 1.91. I, too, thought Naum might actually hold out to win but it stumbled near the end. The race went down to the wire -- iCE looked like a sure winner, but then Atlas won the last round and iCE nearly lost its final game, saving a miracle draw in the end. In addition, the bottom-finisher Greko 10.2 actually beat up on the top 6 engines, something you don't see in many tournaments. This really attests to how closely matched the engine line-up was.
Congrats to the deserving winners and a big thanks to you for running such interesting and competitive tournaments.
Jack
