The first round has started half an hour ago. We are missing The Baron at the moment. As Richard has asked someone else to attend today, we hope his replacement will come in time!
14:00 No sign of Fons and the Baron.
14:20 Due to delays and other train problems, Fons arrived just now. He is looking very sad. Also Walter Ravenek joins the public. He could not compete this year with his program, as he did not do anything on his program. Hans Secelle is telling everybody his ordeal of leaving his luggage at home.
14:30 The Baron and Rybka do play with less time this round. The organisation decided this, as this is a better solution for the tournament than a reglementary result.
In the mean time newcomer Tzunami has lost to Deep Sjeng.
I had to get of the network, because there were programs that had problems with the internet connection. Ktulu nearly loses on time, according to its operator, while in a mating position. Only one draw this round.
The games will be added in the download section.

As there are planned 9 rounds and we have 10 participants, this tournament will be done as a round robin tournament.
