WBEC Qualify Group B - Come on Small Potato!!

Please forgive some national fervour but I see an Australian engine Small Potato is fighting to secure a place in the Qualify final.
One round to go and Thor's Hammer is banging on the door!! It looks likely to get the 2 full points against Ozwald which will then squeeze Small Potato out and into the playoff. I suspect SP will need to win both games against Fauce to earn a finals berth. A tough assignment...
Nail biting stuff!
Good luck Alejandro! I hope we both make it to the final!

hehe, thanks for the support. The potato could have had an easy last round (where it could have played a couple of short grandmaster draws) had it not dropped that game against Embracer. Now, i agree, it may be too tough an assignment. Otoh, Thor's Hammer deserves the qualification since it has been regularly updated, while the potato is just sitting, waiting for rain.
Good luck with TRACE, i'll keep an eye on it.

And its good to have another Aussie here. Good luck!
