These are the results of the ACW tournament organized in late 2003 by Ray Rivers via the Adanac forum.

| Joe Schweikert | 0/1 | 1/1 | 1/2 |
| Brian Lala | - | 1/2 | 1/2 |

On this basis, I provisionally declare myself the winner; though my score will be equalled by John Kallaugher or Brian Lala if I ever hear of a result from their game.
My thanks to my opponents Joe and Rusty, who both played well; both suffered from not fully understanding how battle results are calculated. In fact, no-one understands this, because Frank has deliberately kept it a secret.
The results suggest that the game is reasonably well balanced; but I continue to think that the the US should be able to win with good play on both sides.
