Hello,
First results round 3 :
Crafty 17.10 - SOS : 3.5 - 0.5
I don't understand how Nimzo2000b has lost against SOS in the first round.
Almost everyone is beating SoS easily.

With only 4 games per match per round you'll see that kind of results. Just because SOS is behind after four games against Crafty doesn't mean that it's losing or winning easily. That's the recurring computer tournament problem; is it better with more programs and less games or fewer programs and more games? The latter gives a better evaluation of strength, but the former is more interesting IMO.
Best wishes...
