Use of commercial books is old hat.  You will find that quite a few amateur
programs use the fritz 4 book, and have done so openly for many years.

If it is not spelled out as a rules violation, then it is not wrong to do so.

It probably *should* be specified one way or the other.  I doubt that it has
been or the problem would not arise.

Let's congratulate the winners, and put a bit of effort into improving the
system.  Perhaps we can send email to Beal or whoever is in charge respecting
requested changes for the future.

At any rate, an entertaining tournament as always.  Shredder has once again
risen to the top, and certainly deserves every accolade.

Deep Junior was very impressive also.

And Gromit has obviously made enormous strides.

Round congratulations to all involved, and many successful tournaments in the
future.
