Many Faces did not participate in the 2009 Olympiad, so it did not lose there to Zen. Many Faces won the 2008 Olympiad, but Zen was not there.
After the 2008 Olympiad I was busy for several months completing the commercial release of Many Faces with the Monte Carlo engine, and so I wasn't ready for another competition so soon.
