There is at least one person here at CCC who might, hopefully, be able to make the case for being an "author" for Crafty, albeit a minor one. That would be a distortion of the true facts perhaps, but it might work. Some chess programs have multiple authors. Surely they would not require that all of these authors be present. If someone here has his own modified version of Crafty [modified with your blessing] then maybe it could be entered. At least that would get around the higher entry fee. Of course, the problem may nnot be that easy either. : ( There may be a determined effort by someone to exclude Crafty, although I do not suggest paranoia on this topic. Maybe they would claim that the version entered was another "Crafty clone"? ["Anything remotely resembling Crafty must be excluded."] Anyway, at some point there are diminishing returns and it's not worth the effort. Bob D.
