Last CCT was only for winboarders in practice.
In my opinion it was very bad idea. On the net we can easy find
many winboard's tournaments. I can't see any reason why people who
haven't got winboard support must do it for this tournament.
Tournament without top comercial programs it is not interesting tournamnet.
Majority institute justice.
In my opinion stupid justice becaue now we can play CCT tournament
in our home on our computers. Ferret, Commet, Quark aren't problems, beacuse
we can easy find freeware strong programs as Crafty, Ruffian and Yace.
Weak chess programs we can easy find of course. We don't must think
about one or two people, oooops...one or two chess programs.
