I don't care what you have about Chessbase GUI,But you should know that there
are programmers like Amir,Frans Morsch and many use Chessbase even in WCC
If you say so,Do you have any WCCC games containing more than 300 moves?since
you have been in 1 WCCC,you should know the games of all WCCC
s,did you find such a very very long games supposed to be taking ages.

It's not debatable,It's pretty clear!that hydra is better than Zappa,see any
tournament.public Zappa can't even defeat Chessmaster,Shredder.you can only
expect about 30 elo difference of the private to public version.
Hydra is the favourite to win this WCCC if not shredder or Junior.Amateur
programmers can claim anything and all they want,things like "my prog did well
against shredder in my private test"that's blah blah.I have been hearing this
from many programmers before tournaments and as the result their program got
shredded and sent off packing.
what Anthony did was just rude if you can see what he had written.I don't see
this from some mice programmers like Fabien,I just wanted to see Fruit play at
WCCC's.
