Both programs therefor had 7½ points after nine rounds - two 15 minutes blitz playoff games were agreed to decide the tournament. Shredder lost the first one with White <ref>[http://www.game-ai-forum.org/icga-tournaments/round.php?tournament=20&round=10&id=1 Maastricht 2002 - Chess - Round 10 - Game 1 (ICGA Tournaments)]</ref> and missed the opportunity to transpose into a winning [[Pawn Endgame|pawn endgame]] in playoff game two <ref>[http://www.game-ai-forum.org/icga-tournaments/round.php?tournament=20&round=11&id=1 Maastricht 2002 - Chess - Round 11 - Game 1 (ICGA Tournaments)]</ref> .
