But, of >course in the world of chess programs, that could change at anytime. >Earl Sorry but here we go again. The WCCC is based on a given amount of games. Each program that participates in the WCCC agrees upon the amount of games played ect. This means that there could be 1 possible winner. The winner will then hold the title of the WCCC. This winner can say YES I AM THE WORLD COMPUTER CHESS CHAMPION and has the right to say I WAS THE STRONGEST program during the WCCC. PERIOD. Just because Shredder is 52 pts ahead of Fritz and could very well be the strongest program out, does NOT automatically claim World Chess Champ. SSDF is just a bench mark of programs. WCCC is an official Title. The WCCC has BETTER market value that even the adverage chess program would LOVE to win, and could during the WCCC. 1st place is just that, better than second and second is the first to lose.
