Congratulations to Martin for another successful Stage of the nTCEC. This was the first one that I watched live (way too much) and I was really impressed with the work that's gone into it.

Very fun and addictive to watch in the spare time.

The multi-processor version of Komodo is impressive.

Really sad to see the ICGA World Champion at the bottom of the top 10 table, it kind of reminds me of Kasimdzhanov FIDE World Champion.

Thanks Jeremy & Paolo, doing my best.
