I think we differ in opinion on that. I don't consider 'almost lost' games to 'count' for this :) >Now, the bookmaker and operator said they did have a hard time, it's just the >man selling this product that said there was no competition. ( Spoken like a >true salesman, thus not quite correct) I think the issue is if Chess Tiger wins, then it's no big deal because it's the expected result and the competition were 2nd rank engines anyway (see discussions after NK). If it doesn't win then we get the 'OMG Chess Tiger didn't win! The amateurs are so strong! ChessTiger sucks/plays too passive/...' stuff. No incentive to compete. -- GCP
