It is a chessbase engine but chessbase did not pay for it. Sos is a chessbase engine but almost nobody thought that it is going to win the events. It is not an amatuer program(chessbase sells it) but it was considered as amatuer by chessbase and unfortunately by other people and I do not understand it. There were only 3 horses that people realy expected to win. > >they had a 5 times higher chance to get a title for them. The number of programs is not the only important thing. The quality of programs is also important. Chessbase do not win in most of the tournaments and there are also tournaments that they do not get second place so second place is clearly not a bad result for them. Uri
