Comet B.68 (2) - (15) Nejmet 3.07 :
Aristarch 4.41 (3) - (14) WildCat 3.0 :

Delfi 4.4 (7) - (10) Postmodernist v.1010 :
Ktulu 4.2 (8) - (9) Thinker 4.5e :

Noter: Errors, mishaps, comments and changes.
Qualification:
1) Yace and Postmodernist: Repetoire book created by Moq. Yace also uses standard large book from website.
2) GLC: Very slightly modified version of public opening book created by Moq.
3) WildCat: Booksetup from version 2.61.
4) Movei: Standard book plus a few (common) 24ply extensions.
5) Amy: Book created by Moq with standard learn book. Error: Amy didn't use 5-piece tables in the first two rounds.
6) Nejmet: Yet another (unsuccesful?) Moq opening book.
7) Gothmog: Tournament book from round 4. Small Tbook.bin fix from round 9.
Main KOT2:
1) Gothmog: Updated version with "selectivity 6" for round 1.
2) Thinker: Updated version for round 1.
3) Aristarch: Usual booksetup with a few dubious lines removed by Moq.
4) The King: Book created by Moq.

I think the lgpgnver program is terrific. But I wish it would also detect "wins on time" games. Very often these games were stopped prematurely (usually at the start) due to the OS or whatever. So what I do is scan the pgn file of the tournament for "wins on time" and individually decide if the game should be replayed. Then I use lgpgnver on the same file.

Which program detects the errors for you?
Can you explain me what it does, roughly (I don't use Windows)?
E.g. by scanning log files?

The program is pgn verifier by George Lyapko as explained by Norm.
Another valuable tool is debug2pgn, which translates the WinBoard debug file to pgn with (e.g.) eval, depth and time as comments.
Regards,
Mogens

Smth. like this:
Result :1-0 {White wins on time}
Warning level :1
Final position: 8/p7/1p1n2K1/1P1P4/8/4k3/8/5B2 w - - 8 65
Analyze result:1-0 {Win on time(even material)}
or
Result :0-1 {Black wins on time}
Warning level :3
Final position: 8/p7/1p1n2K1/1P1P4/2P4P/4k3/8/5B2 w - - 8 65
Analyze result:0-1 {Win on time(white is 2 pawns up)}
