Congratulations to Zen, winner of yesterday's bot tournament!

That tournament should never have happened, as I have explained.  Most 
of the players were therefore not present, and their games were decided 
by forfeit, with White winning if both players were absent.  However, 
some players were present for at least part of the tournament, and four 
games were played:

In round 3, Zen19 beat StoneGrid
In round 4, Zen19 beat PNUGo
in round 8, Zen19 beat StoneGrid and Aya beat PNUGo

Zen19 was therefore the undefeated winner, with eight wins (three of 
them real) from eight games.

Zen19 was also very good at being white:  it was white seven times 
(including twice against StoneGrid and twice against PNUGo), and black 
only once.  This happens to be useful to me:  I am currently trying to 
persuade 'wms' that he has not yet fixed the colour-assignment bug, and 
Zedn's games prove that he has not.

However, this accidental tournament will not count towards the annual 
KGS bot championship.
