Some questions:

1)What is the meaning of 1997 in woodpusher 1997?
Does it suggest that the program is from 1997 or only misleading information?

2)Did somebody hear something about FIBchess?
I know nothing about it's level so maybe it can be the champion because I
believe that programs are generally weak relative to what is possible to
achieve(this is the reason that I started chess programming but I am not a good
programmer so movei is even weaker than weak).

I believe that if a good programmer with very good ideas starts to work
seriously about chess programming then it is possible in one year to be at least
100 elo better than shredder8 and every time that I read about a new program
that I heard nothing about it I suspect that it is possible that the program is
the best.

It never happened in the past but it does not mean that it will never happen in
the future.
