Rather than a candidates contest in normal format, I would like to see a
round-robin tournament with ten games between each program and perhaps the top
ten programs involved [if we can figure out what they are].  It seems that the
new Chess Tiger {with a G} will be a real shining star.  Or is it just early
exueberance from the beta testers or a fortunate series of event trials?  Hard
to say without detailed evidence.

No doubt about it. Fischer should be the CCC equivalent of Godwin's law.
