This tournament is over. I was wrong, I had expected Inmichess to keep 4th place, but Inmichess did do very well in the company of such strong programs, and I can't wait to see the next version!
See the game below where Inmichess stole Phalanx's Queen's Rook on move 10. Amazing, but Phalanx won, Inmi kind of stumbled a bit, oh well.

The games against Phalanx where not the best, but all in all, I am not unhappy.
I hoped for 33%, it got 29%, so it is in the range.
Version 3.02 is in the pipeline, but some small tuning is necessary. Hope again for some ELO increase. But all the other programmers also do not sleep.....
(New Version goes one ply deeper in endgame without any loss..)

Inmichess did much better than Phalanx did against Crafty, TCB, & Comet, so I was very surprised that it had such a hard time against Phalanx.
These are all favorite programs of mine in this tournament (that was not the case with that last tournament) so even though I was cheering for Inmichess because it was doing better than I thought it would, I did realize that Phalanx is pretty strong and a real good program.
I'm not really sure if it's such a good idea to have a tournament that only has your favorite programs, you just don't know who to cheer for.

I've inserted "/pre", sorry.

The "/pre" must have somehow got deleted, it looks like that messes up the formatting when it's gone. Thanks.
