Final table tournament.



Paries tournament.

[Krzysztof Grzelak]

E-mail came to me and asked why I did not play engine Damage. I do not have the latest version of Damage, but at the next tournament occurs at an older version does not.

[Birdy]

Great tournament Krzysztof!

Thank you.

[Jelle Wiersma]

Nice tournament and I believe with the right winner: Scan is extremely strong!

[Rein Halbersma]

Nice tournament and I believe with the right winner: Scan is extremely strong!

Why not give a copy of Sjende Blyn to Krzysztof to see how you would end up in these tournaments? With your very close match result against Scan you would contend for the medals no doubt.

[Jelle Wiersma]

That has already been planned: After the human-machine contest held during the WC Draughts at November 15th in Emmen, I will finalize the program for Krzysztof.
