Hi Nick,

A comment about your remark at the end of the report regarding the
winning chances of white: I don't think you should count all games;
uneven games (where one side is much stronger) are almost meaningless.
But maybe you didn't do that either (because I don't see how you got
to 41-39 from 20 rounds with 8 games per round), but then please tell
us where you drew the line.

I did a quick count for games between programs finishing in the top 5.
If I count correctly this comes to White: 13, Black: 6

Somehow I feel that these kgs tournaments are for an important part
decided by the kgs paring algorithm. It's annoying; the olympiad has
become a hardware contest and the kgs tournaments a lottery. Hardly
any good tournaments left. (Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, it's
still fun to watch :-))

Best,
Erik
