Of course,but it is the only game when I support you.
I also do not support boycotting the tournament.

Boycotting brutus is the right decision and I will never buy it even in case
that it is going to be the best.
Boycotting chessbase because chessbase supports brutus is also something to
consider but I decided not to do it but I understand people who do it.

If I sell my engine in the future then my preference will be every company that
is not chessbase.

I need to do a significant improvement for this target
but it gets better.
