No problems experienced with SOS at all. The UCI engine LG Nemesis will be included as well. Some (hanging) problems have been detected with LGN when used with Galis WBTM. However, since the qualifier is RR and AutoQuit seemingly reliable, it will participate. If it qualifies for KOT3, the rest of the rounds will be matches under WinBoard, which shouldn't result in problems.
The engines Aristarch, Thinker, Crafty and Comet are prequalified due to their KOT2 results.

By the merest half point the Baron was lost....


Your tournament looks like fun.

Later.

Yep, it was certainly close.
Well, there are more than enough rating lists for those interested. And the appeal of thorough testing by running several hundred games between two engines. Now I'm able to get a feel of the latest and strongest engines and have a computer for ordinary and necessary assignments. I don't even have to be fair in selection or execution, which is a definite plus .
