Pairing for round 9:
| white | black | result |
| Deep Sjeng | Ktulu | 1-0 |
| Tzunami | Hermann | 0-1 |
| Joker | Rybka | 0-1 |
| The Baron | Hiarcs | 0-1 |
| The King | Pandix | 0,5-0,5 |
The last round just started. With Rybka unreachable, the places 2 and 3 are much more interesting.
The games up to round 8 are now downloadable from the download section!
The first game to finish is Tzunami, who gets mated by Hermann. Very brave to start this tournament with a complete new program, nearly no chess experience (both programmer and program!) and not knowing that at this tournament the world top programs play.
A surprise draw of the King against Pandix. Both with KQP and The King threatening to promote its pawn, Pandix makes the draw happen in the longest game of the tournament.
