Thanks Leo for playing the 19th edition of WBEC!

I'm sorry to read that this may be the last edition, though I completely understand your decision.

When I started I didn't think Frenzee (/chesscraft) would ever compete in the Premier division, so thanks for playing it out one last time.

Actually Frenzee did better than I had hoped, beating Ktulu and almost catching the 2-cpu Crafty towards the end :-)
I think you somehow always made Frenzee perform better than it deserved, which is why I really liked this tournament hehe.
Your attention to details and the excellent bug reports are of a very high level.

Truthfully WBEC was a major factor in getting me hooked on chess programming. I always wanted to move up one more division and whatever division it played in it was interesting and hardfought battles.
I really like the 4RR tournament format, it's like little mini-matches inside a larger tournament. Swiss has never really appealed to me in the same way, it's seems too arbitrary somehow.

Kind regards,
Sune
