YES.
Only some programmers have updated their programs round by round.
These programmers were mainly amateurs and i don't think they have misused
this possibility. Maybe they have a little tuned their books. But i don't think
they have made much chaos. or changed ranking much.

the big and strong programs were updated too.
junior e.g., and fritz (when it arrived). and others too.
I think it is ok. When i feel somebody is MISUSING this chance, i will name it.
But so far i don't think it was mass-misused.

Some programs will now come with the stronger versions. I think this is ok and
makes the whole thing even more interesting.
It is only fair to me.
I forgot to let shredder participate. Stefan was in holiday, i was unable to
reach him. now he is back and he wants to participate with shredder3.
I think it is only fair to let LATEST versions of programmers participate.
There is no evil in doing this IMO.
