Hi Thorsten,

I believe Johan is only defending his title of last year in Amazons with his
8QP: http://www.dcs.qmul.ac.uk/~olympiad/amazonsresult.htm

If it was chess, I might think he got inspiration for the name from Q5T! I
actually wrote a 8 queens problem program (How to put 8 queens on a chess-board
without them attacking any other queen) once for a Casio calculator, within its
gigantic memory of 128 steps. It was really fun trying to get the most out of
such a small machine, I think that is a bit like writing for the Palm too today.
(Ahem, well just a little bit) Was no great effort though, nothing like Amazons
or chess.

Yes, is great to see Crafty and Bruce's Ferret on the list! Will Robert come
himself to operate Crafty? If it is Crafty on SMP then the multi-title might
become hardfought but on the other hand that means that title also becomes more
interesting to win!?

There is always Stefan though and if he is coming with a Chessbase/Siemens
was-machine now... But maybe it is also Pocket Stefan, against Palm-Christophe?
Would be fun, no?
