Why is that a surprise?
My guess is Amy will end up last or near last in your tournament..But of course, this is just my guess..(I don't like Amy...for some reason)
Another question why arean't you testing Goliath as well? It's absence in your tournament is quite weird..To round it up to 10 , perhaps add Zchess or Francesa

Reply to Aaron:
My tournament does only include programs which support the Nalimov tablebases. Therefore Little Goliath did not come into consideration. Maybe you are right that Amy will end up last ... but the tournament has just started ...
