The question was about *micro* computer world championship.

I consider WBEC as the world championship for microcomputers.
Every program that support winboard is allowed and the programs get the same
hardware so the tournament is fair.

programs get only one processor so it is clearly microcomputers unlike
other tournaments.

There are also more games unlike the tournament in Graz when you decide about
the champion without having enough games.

history of WBEC microcomputer world champions is:
1)Gandalf
2)Ruffian
3)Ruffian
4)Deep Sjeng

Next tournament is going to be more interesting because finally Chessmaster and
Rebel participate.

Junior, Fritz,Tiger and Shredder are still missing.
