This tourney looks pretty interesting, Kurt. My forecast is substantially
different:

1.- Shredder 7.04
2.- Fritz 8.0.0.8
3 and 4  (about tied) Junior8 and CM9 SKR
5.- Chess Tiger 15
6.- Hiarcs 8
7.- Ruffian 1.0.1
8.- Deep Sjeng 1.5

I have no seen yet one program able to beat Shredder 7.04 at the level you are
setting for your tourney. On the other hand, despite the clear improvement and
the good job made by Gian Carlo P., I do not expect that Deep Sjeng 1.5 can
avoid the last place.

I will print my forecast and compare it later with the actual results of the
tourney. We will enjoy following it.
