Seven engines are participating: 1. Catalyst (Richard Albert) 2. ChessV (Gregory strong) 3. Fairy-Max 4.8R (H.G.Muller) 4. Nebiyu 1.1 (Daniel Shawul) 5. Oberon 0.04 (Pawel Koziol) 6. Sjaak 92 (Evert Glebbeek) 7. Spartacus 0.23 (H.G.Muller) The games are broadcasted live at http://80.100.28.169/spartan/spartan.html The first qualifier cycle has completed. Spartacus and Nebiyu faced 6-fold time-odds in this cycle. This is needed to make their games with the others more interesting and relevant. The results were: Cross table, sorted by score percentage, Buchholz, SB Sp Ne Ob Fa Ch Sj Ca 1. Spartacus 0.23 / 6 ## =1 10 =1 11 01 11 75% 9.0 ( 66.0, 47.0) 2.
