If it was Oct. 1997 (*before* the amateur Junior won the WM then), would you have guessed that it had chances? Version 4.0 was 70 points below the top on P90, in the SSDF list. It's easier to tell afterwards... :o) In the participants list, I see the pros Quest, Shredder and Junior. I don't assume that Brutus is among the favourites already (maybe). But *9* rounds swiss will be played. Which means, ~2/3 of the amateur's points at least will come from games against other amateurs, and the pros will have to fight each other (and take points from each other) due to the swiss mode... IMO Chances are *very high* that an amateur will win. Regards, Mike Scheidl
