What does speaking English have to do with >computer chess? It's a bit like having a tournament between programs beginning >with the letters A-M vs N-Z, or between those whose programmers have light hair >vs dark.

So now the tournament is programs from English-speaking countries (US, Australia) vs. European programs. I hope this makes sense!
