Hi Paul,

unfortunalety I have to work during the week :(
For that reason mostly I´m only able to play at the evening. But next week
I´m on duty also at evening - no chance. I would suggest next weekend then.

Wow I am really impressed! to have this 11 Round tournament with 12 computers operating in 5 countries and 132 games completed in 10 Weeks (70 days assuming Paul's and Helge's game completes by next Saturday)!

That's like completing one Round every 6 days!

That has to be some kind of an Online World Record for a Chess Computer Tournament!! Average = 1.89 games per day! ;)

It would have been even faster had they have managed to complete the last game this weekend :)

Excellent organization Michael!

The game between Mephisto Montreux and Mysticum Aristarch 4.5 was an English oppening. It was a leveled game up to move 39 which had the following position:

[fen]8/p7/2p2p2/2p5/2PbPk1K/1P3P2/PBR5/6r1 w - - 1 40[/fen]

White played here 40.Kh3 and after this move the position evaluation went from -1,75 to -3,21 and from there and the following moves the position for black was better and better. The final position was:

[fen]8/p5r1/5p2/1P6/4P3/8/P2pk2K/3R4 w - - 1 48[/fen]
