Sorry about this but people are FEED up with unfair tournies.  LET all programs
into a tourney with winner playing Kramnik.  People are_not_stupid.  When you
NOT_ALLOW_ one of the top 5 programs in a tourney that determines who plays the
best GM---PEOPLE understand this is not fair.  If its a MP program thats fine.
If its a single cpu program thats fine also.  Each program has its uniqueness
and should be reconized as that.
