Yes, an amazing number of very strong programs were entered this time.  Quark
and Monsoon were extremely impressive, among others.  This gives me great hope
that the amateurs will again come to dominate the pros, or at least reach par.
Given the economics of selling chess programs, it may happen.

And I'd like to think that the existence of the CCT tournaments has had
something to do with it.

btw, this is a "real" tournament. :)  Nice to meet you, too.

Amateur was lucky to get 5 points in this field, for sure.
