And half of it's losses were to me! 
So only three people beat it  . Arimaa needs more humans players. If our numbers exploded I bet the bots wouldn't seem nearly as close as they do. At least the bots are farther than they look (IMO).

That's not part of the mixer. Since chessandgo didn't get paired in the mixer rbarreira offered to start a separate game.
I would probably find it funny too if chessandgo's position didn't worry me.

Updated game-room performance rating table:
Bot . Year Record Postal Performance
--- ---- ------ ------------------
Bomb 2005 4-6 1716
Zombie 2007 1-14 1409
Sharp 2008 1-8 1568
OpFor 2008 8-9 2060
OpFor 2009 3-7 1798
OpFor 2010 6-8 1848
Clueless 2010 9-7 2072
Briareus 2011 12-6 2167
Hippo 2012 4-4 1798
Briareus 2012 10-4 2221
Hippo made a good start, tying OpFor in 2009. Briareus set a new record, breaking its old record from last year. Thanks to both developers for taking part!

Pretty close, actually I asked for a game and he generously accepted 
Thanks Fritzlein for the updated results table. Nice to see that the performance rating didn't get worse from last year, and may even have improved with some margin of error.

Wow, briareus traded dog for rabbit what gave it superrior position. It seems to me c&g is out of pieces ...

That is one crazy game Chessandgo and Briareus have going on... 56 moves with no foreseeable end in sight.

90 down and 9 to go!
The remaining games are:
Adanac-Nombril
browni3141-ChrisB
browni3141-mistre
ChrisB-Adanac
ChrisB-Fritzlein
Fritzlein-Nombril
Nombril-ChrisB
woh-ChrisB
woh-omar
Either browni or Fritz will finish up with the best win-loss difference. Now it's browni at 13-2 = +11 and Fritz at 9-0 = +9. briareus is third at 10-4 = +6. All of the other players are now no higher than +3.
Alfons finished undefeated at 3-0. The only other player who could finish undefeated is Fritzlein.
The best internal performance ratings, using woh's In Tournament WHR Calculator are:
Fritzlein 2002
browni3141 1802
Alfons . 1769
chessandgo 1732
Adanac . 1692
bot_briareus 1691
All the other players are now under 1600. (The "prior" used was one win and one loss against a dummy player
with a fixed rating of 1500.)

Thanks for the update, ChrisB. Over half the unfinished games are yours? You have taken over "slow finisher" mantle from woh, who has held it for years, if I remember correctly.

This title could be shared between them at the end ... but previous year not Herve, but Eric shared it with me.
P.S.: Language question ... among or between?

Thanks novacat, I were not sure if it applies in all cases.

I doubt that I will beat Fritzlein in the win-loss category. It seems unlikely that I can win both of my remaining games, and likely that Fritzlein will win his, so I think the best I can do is match him. Either way his undefeated record is much more impressive.
There's a different category that I should have in the bag at least
