Is there a WCCC next year? I think the marriage to Deep Junior might not work, unless the code is pretty much ANSI C++. The new machines dropped support for Windows NT, and so you have to choose either OpenVMS or Tru64 Unix. Crafty would be a natural, it already works on UNIX. Not sure about Diep or Deep Junior. With a 64 CPU system and the next generation Alpha chips, you would be getting ludicrous NPS. Diep would look like Deep Junior does on the Dortmund system! There would go all of Vincent's brags about low NPS. ;-) If you ported all 3, they would probably go 1, 2, 3 in the tournament. Anyone with a single CPU would have no chance at all against them. I think Ferret runs on multiple CPU's also. Let's add Ferret to the mix so that there will be some drama over who might win/place/show.
