I can add that if selling your program is important for you then you should try to prove things by participating in tournaments with equal hardeware. commercial programs like Deep Sjeng and Ruffian won WBEC and I guess that it help them to sell more copies. Note that at least in the case of Deep Sjeng it participates also in world championships so there is no contradiction. I did not buy them but I may consider to buy one of them in the future. Today it seems that both The king and smarthink also have chances for the first place. You do not trust the ssdf but when I see that you do not participate in a single tournament with equal hardware then I cannot believe all your claims. You can decide not to reaveal your book for WCCC like other commercial who participate. If you think that your engine is better then it may be a good idea if you prove it there. I believe that WBEC has the potential to be more important for sales than WCCC because of the following reasons: 1)WBEC is equal hardware tournament. 2)WBEC is more games so the results are more significant than WCCC. I also believe that WBEC has 2 advantage relative to the ssdf. 1)All the games are available. 2)Learning is less important than ssdf because only 4 games are played between every 2 opponents. some commercial programs(Deep Sjeng,Ruffian,The king,Gandalf,Rebel) already participate in WBEC. I am interested to know if programmers of other commercial programs plan to participate in WBEC in the future by supporting winboard(specifically Junior and Tiger when the authors write from time to time and this is the reason that I added the names of the programmers to the title).
