First of all, it's just a tournament. SHredder didn't use it's book, but 12
moves fed to it by force. Sandro built the book especially for it, so this is
already a handicap in itself. Finally, the most obvious issue in my opinion, and
I won't mention the need for 2 computers, TCs, longer mini-matches, etc. is the
fact that most of the top engines are missing. No Junior, Fritz, Hiarcs, etc.
