IE one program, one entry. Enforcing that is _not_ a simple task. I will happily provide my source, so that a third-party can look at it to see that it is unique and not a copy of another program, and then he can use that source to build an executable and compare that executable with the output displayed by Crafty during a game at some "interesting" point. If we don't set this up correctly to start with, you _know_ what is going to happen. We will get commercial programs playing instead of amateur programs, etc... There are already more than a few suspicious programs running on ICC. I won't name names, but I have played a couple of amateurs that I can't beat even with a hardware advantage. I find that pretty unlikely in real life... If we aren't careful, human nature will wreck this event just like it tries to wreck everything else.
