Your players list >will contain the absolutely top programs at the moment except Rebel Century. You >should take Rebel into this tourney, it deserves to be participant. Of course Rebel deserves it, and that's why I won't include it. Let me explain: it seems that the auto232 driver of Rebel is hurting its performance, so it would be unfair to enter a handicapped Rebel. The only way would be to play it manually... No thanks. >You may extend the tourney afterwards with Crafty and MChessPro8 (ranked 2nd in >your last tourney!), but at first I'd like to see the best playing each other.

I always wanted to be the SSDF. :((( Enrique
