Then that was a damn fantastic illusion :)

And well let's be frank, Crafty would have no chance at the WCCC. Surely Diep is
going to win, so why bother even going? Why hold the tournament at all? Just
give Vincent the trophy now and save a hell of alot of money.

We all know that what Vincent says is the gosh honest truth. Just stop producing
programs, Diep is the only one worth getting. It has the best search, the most
knowledge, and the best tablebases.

Best of all most of it is available under the label "Vaporware". Not only do you
see your money disappear, but also the results he promises :)
