It is probably the year when woodpusher was released.

There was a project that started 2 years ago, and the idea was to reunite a few
good programmers and develop the best chess program. The project was not a
sucess. I believe that 10 years of continuing efforts and improvements as the
authors of Shredder and Fritz can't be surpased in a single year. The only
surprise that might occurs in this tourney is with Falcon.
