komodo beat cheng and fire beat gaviota.
so two of the leaders lost.
arasan won too to keep pace.
gull could only draw, vs texel.

2.5 komodo, fire, arasan
2.0 gingko, gull
1.5 gaviota, texel, cheng
1.0 protector
0.5 fruit, jonny

in a SHOCKING reversal, fire failed to move in a +11 position (20 mins), giving a free point to gaviota.
this of course makes the tcec fans happy, to see the fan favorite move one step closer to stage 2 qualification.
but it opens the question, how many other "wins" have been saved by the tcec resign rules?
would other engines have crashed too?
if you don't let every game play to an end, you will never know.
