I shouldn't consider someone being a professional chess programmer just because
he'd earned a - more or less - minor amount of money years ago. (At least so I
suspect)
Profession means to me that you are getting a substantial part of your income
through this. This is definitely not true for Gromit.

Well, the usual discussion! The border between professional and amateur isn't
exactly defined.

In the wmccc event, a very natural definition could be, that everybody who'd
payed the large entry fee for professionells, is a profi; the others are
amateurs. Again, Gromit would fall into the amateur league.
