Hi Russell,

I think the favorites are Fritz (Quest), Shredder, and Junior, which happen to
be 3 of the top 4 programs on the SSDF rating list.

Brutus is a very interesting FPGA-based program written by the author of Nimzo.
It has only played a few public games, so it's hard to judge its strength, but I
suspect it is quite dangerous.

The other programs are all amateurs, but some of them are incredibly strong and
will play a big factor.  Diep and Comet have had excellent results recently.

My dark-horse is Warp.
