Jonny 4.00 MP x64 eliminates Ktulu 9

A few notes about the round 1.1,
Here my credits are going especially for Hakkapeliitta's author
It is not so easy as it looks to win with 1 core over 6 cores
Actually this is known issue, e.g many mp engines suffer with more cores
*Especially with 12 cores and above...
However...I hope to see all engines as MP, but with a good scaling !)
Because usually more cores + slower time controls perform better...!

More details about round 2,
Again...Atlas 3.80 x64 1 core (even as Blacks) defeated Nirvana 2.1c x64 6 cores
Special congratulations to Atlas's author...impressive..!!
Not bad performance by Tornado 5 MP x64 so far...
*Very sad that Engin Ustun canceled working over Tornado's project
Synapse RZ4 WSET MP x64 seems to be a serious candidate to be as champion
Surprisingly, Protector 1.8.0 MP x64 lost (against Spike 1.4 MP)...I expected just opposite
No surprise that Rybka 4.1 MP x64 was eliminated by Shark 150815 MP x64
Note that Shark 150815 is highly based on latest releases of Stockfish
Yes...my congratulations to all qualified participants !
But however, Win or Lose:
It's not so important, it's how many people remember you efforts for chess !
