I certainly didn't expect Pharaon 2.62 to be up there!
I thought that List 512, Deep Sjeng 1.6 and El Chinito 3.25 would be the ones to watch.
Tao 5.6 seems to have a well rounded playing style and could very well be a bolter.

Hi Graham
You are steadily busy testing engines and playing
some good tournaments. When will you open your own
homepage to let participate interested chess people
with your hobby?

Hi Kurt,
I don't have the computer skills that are necessary to make a website. I'm happy enough to email you the pgn file at the end of the tournament if you want it for your site. I'm also prepared to send you the Super Tournament II pgn file if you wish.
Graham.
