I am glad to see two brand new engines entering.. I have heard of Pandix before, not sure from where.. Tzunami on the other hand is completely new to me. I wish one of you dutch people can get the queenmaxima program to compete with a decent hardware.

Why is a draw against Rybka and a win not enough. Its not certain that Rybka will win against junior. Who win in the case both Rybka and Hiarcs end on 7.5 point? The only way hiarcs can win the tournament is by defeating Rybka, or by expecting rybka to lose a game . Can hiarcs pull an upset??? In c...
