I didn't have to do anything, you were the one who said:

"I think that if a program is automated is enough to play in the next CCT. If
not then we might have the same result."

Making it automated is the big job, kibitzing isn't.

And I actually doubt the job is very big at all, they had two month to copy
paste the code from winboard.

I think the reason they weren't there was because _they decided_ not to be
there, certainly not because the rules made it impossible for them.

If you think otherwise you really are insulting their programming skills.
