Hi all,
I have just uploaded the games and standings of the 2nd division after 4 rounds. Please take a look at my site.
I made a big mistake, however. I forgot to save the List-Patriot game, so it is missing from the collection. If I get a positive reply to the message below, I may be ablle to restore the game and the PGN will be corrected. I am awfully sorry for this because that was one of the best games of the tournament...
The List-Deep Sjeng game from round 5 is included, however. It is also worth a look, I believe.

Well I don't know what happened. A couple of minutes ago I started Arena in order to change settings so that every game will be saved automatically. Arena has a strange behaviour: sometimes on startup it loads the last saved PGN file without being asked. It did so now. And what am I seeing? It has loaded the List-Patriot game which I thought had been lost!
Of course my first reaction was to save this game to a separate file. Then I left Arena and opened the 2nd-10.pgn file in which all the games are saved, and copied the missing game into it. The corrected PGN is already uploaded to my site.
I wish I knew where Arena stored this game. I haven't found any file containing this game or even a file having been created after the game was played.

I think Arena has its own save game format (*.fch) for saving games. It might have saved the game in that format.
