In computer chess, preventing losses and grinding out wins (sort of like Carlsen) are what matters. So the points standings are a bit deceptive.
Computer chess programs should really be ranked in a tournament by: 1. Fewest losses and then 2. Most Wins.
Under that criterion, after 16 rounds, the rankings would be:
1. Bouquet 3-0
1. Houdini 3-0
3. Komodo 5-1
4. Naum 3-2
All the rest have 3 or more losses.
Junior will win.
Whoops! Houdini just lost to Stockfish in the 2nd last round. Bouquet is the only undefeated program left.
… and Bouquet lost in the last round! No program was perfect.
