Crafty is a free program.
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.

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.
