I didn't want to enter more than one program per programmer. Imagine this
tournament with DF, F6, F532, Tiger 12, 13 and Gambit Tiger... It makes sense to
assume that the latest release is the best one.

Don't forget that Gandalf's learner was broken. In my opinion, Gandalf is a very
fine program and with a decent learner it would have done better.
