Dear Chess Friends,

There was a BIG fight for the first place and the winner is Komodo !!
Impressive performance by Komodo 1318 - Congrats to Komodo Team !

Another record is that,
For the 1st time Komodo wins the SCCT tournament !)

This time unfortunately,
Stockfish 091114 MP is performed as 2nd

For example,
Since 2014, Stockfish won almost all SCCT tournaments, exception this one...
Yes...it looks like Stockfish was not lucky under these conditions

About Houdini, Gull and Rybka performance,
As I expected...without updates they can not be better....

About Chiron 6th ranking,
Good, much better than Blitz and its performance is near to Rybka
Chiron has one game lost on time, otherwise probably would be rated higher

Btw,
I replayed 2 short (up to 15 moves) drawn games
