I was very much impressed by ZChess ! Not only the outstanding results but also
a few very good games IMHO .

As we don't know Insomniac's results so far and don't know if SOS was counted as
pro or amateur it is yet unclear if performance was good enough for the Amateur
title .

But one thing for sure ; it deserves the title

"Best freely availlable WMCCC Amateur program 2000 "

which probably not many expected , following Gromit Paderborn 1999 .

Congratulations.
